That's just what I have except it turns at your lower spreader.

() Which makes the aft leg less effective-especially as I move it farther aft. When I move the turning point up the mast, and move the aft leg-farther aft, that should improve it. Where you hoist goes by the first spreader, do you have a farlead or something there? I was thinking a strap eye on each spreader - a few inches out from the mast - would keep the jacks silently away from the mast.
