Leading the jib halyard to the cockpit is pretty handy. Mine turns through a block at the base of the mast, then to a cheek block, then to a clam cleat next to the jib sheet cleat. In combinatin with a downhaul, I have good control over the sail. Leading the main would be more troublesome as my main uses a boltrope rather than hanks and likes to be fed up and down.
