Hi David Cawston! The info you've given here is a real boon; thank you so much for sharing it. I'm only sorry that it's taken me since 2007 to find it now, in 2011!
If you ever have the opportunity, is there any chance that (in addition to all the useful photos above AND the video) you could squiggle a really basic drawing, showing the appropriate ropes etc in different colours, going to their respective cleat, pulley, block etc? No matter if you can't; it'd just help this nerd to make sure she's putting the right things where they're meant to go!
BTW, thanks for the tip re tying bits of string around the mast to keep things in place. One of those ideas you don't come up with - in my case anyway - until it's too late!
Many, many thanks - and best wishes, P.
