Two questions: Does anyone have any pictures/diagrams of for setting up the cascading downhaul system? Is there anything to be aware of when moving the rotator above the boom? |

You can see the systems from the Wildcat in the parts guide online here:https://static.hobiecat.com/digital_assets/wildcat-part-guide-201705.pdf?_ga=2.245532996.1947164500.1525706207-46684098.1524004451 (page 23 has a very clear diagram) - you can rig a H20 the same. Just need a couple of extra pulleys and cleats on the side of the mast. |

Is there a specific distance that those top blocks need to be mounted up the mast? |

They aren't mounted on the mast - they're attached to the foot of the main via a shackle - they go down with the sail as it comes down. Look at the diagram. It's very easy to use - you pre-load the double blocks with the larger rope that going into the cleats on either side of the mast. that is a 16:1 system. Works awesome on the Wild Cat and Tiger. I've never rigged one on an H20 but I'm sure other's can chime in. |

Class rules prevent more than an 8:1 purchase on the downhaul: (Hobie 20 Class Rules) Quote: 3.2 Mainsail downhaul purchase shall not exceed
8:1 purchase. The downhaul line must cleat on the mast or foot of the sail and may be rigged in any manner. "Cam" cleats are legal. |
