I like to control it with a block and cleat at each end, so when you tack you can pull it UP quickly, from the weather side. If you use an endless control line you can pop it off on the other side as you tighten it.
Dave- can you senmd a pic of how you do it on the Sage, which is the same as I used to do on the M -17 as an optiion?
