<div>Singlehanded</div>
<div>Tried a poleless leward takedown the other day. Blew the afterguy,
gathered the foot, blew the halyard, gathered in cabin, ran over
afterguy. It appears some tension needs to be kept on the afterguy when
releasing but how do you do this? 1 wrap on winch? ratchet block in ratchet
mode? or ?????????????</div>
<div>Thanks </div>
