[quote=MN3]When you state a boat has been "highly modified , among other advanced features" and the truth is it has added a few better blocks .... your miles apart from being accurate

[quote]downhaul is upgraded[/quote]
nothing highly modified about adding some additional turning blocks and better cleat to a Cunningham system-

[quote] crossbeam came from 5.7 production line as it has cleats for the 5.7 style barber haul. [/quote]
Hans used the same extrusion - do adding turning blocks at the end make it highly modified ? (btw- this is not in use-
 currently not even reeved)

[quote]However, he does appear to be using the std 5.0 barberhauler setup.[/quote]
not using the  setup as the manual - if that is what you are calling "standard"

This is all old school technology, blocks and cleats
same old design, albeit he has improved upon the setup by adding additional turns for better response to his sheeting and for his needs (fast sailing) -

i believe that was my point the entire time - 
Most recreational,non OD racers sailors start with what hardware they have on hand and add if needed to make work, and modify over time to best fit their needs 
- ymmv

[quote] if someone is going for a stock rig, my suggestion is pertinent.[/quote]
