Graham,
I have copied your idea to have a 2:1 purchase pulley up in the forestay halyard above the jib swivel. It is a complete success. Also solves a Dyneema knot problem I had there. Thank you for the tip.

BTW, last week in some wind I crushed the ball bearings in a forestay block which was rated 0.6 tons, which gives a fair idea of the forestay tension in a blow.
