Ditto on the magic box, except mine is on the deck. A line runs from
the outhall sheave, through the boom, down through the reef cleat
that I retro-fitted with a small cheek block, down to a block on the
mast partner and back to the box. It's expensive, but lighter than
you'd think and it allows another control line to be within
arms-reach of the trimmer.
