do most of you guys use brute force to downhaul the extra few cm's of rope? or do most of you carry along the crank..i used to just get a piece of solid hardwood the size of a boom diameter cut in 8'' and with an ezzy loop just downhaul the extra cm's but as am getting a bit on the grey side, i kinda feel back pain and wasted energy on the newer sails downhauling them..some sail companies now tell you to use a rigging tool others don't..so what's the secret to an effortless downhaul when your'e in a hurry and want to skip the crank?i've put wax on the lines, oiled the pulleys and recently decided to have a tool made to specs from a machining shop all stainless steel and costs 800pesos or 20us$ works excellent just like today for the first time
