Good to hear. I spent several hours drooling over that mahogany T you had for sale, but the 4000km, each way, was slightly greater than the distance I wanted to tow it.
This trailer uses a long handled crank. You stand at the sterns & it turns a screw jack, a one handed operation. 
Two of the T's I inspected did not have any trailer. I thought of using my Tailex & breaking down the T, but for resale, most people no trailer-no deal. I even decided to buy a bare boat, sail the crap out of it for a few years, then part it out if need be. Unfortunately, the woodies I saw needed parting out now.
I did finally come across a '91, BUT, his bottom line for a bare bones boat, sans trailer, was double what I paid for the '01 Mystere.

I'm pretty sure it's for tensioning the leech. It travels up the leech & has a small cleat...can be adjusted underway, though i think maybe one would need to do it while the sail was neutral. I don't have  experience with these new fangled square tops, I understand trimming them is a bit different. Probably won't matter, I'll have way more power than I can hang onto.[/quote]
