I am sold out on rigging this way myself. I have used Dux in many different ways for the last 6 or 8 years. As well as have had my 34' Searunner Trimaran rigged for about 3 years now (I think)
I had Tony Morrelli onboard last winter in Mexico. He is a sailmaker and and has lived and breathed sailing for 40 years or so. His brother is Gino Morrelli the designer of 125' Play Station Cat and many others (Gunboat)
Anyhow, after Tony went out and tweaked and yanked and tweaked some more (he kept saying "this stuff is just like wire".
As he left he boat he was shaking his head. " This just does not happen in sailing, you do not get a leap in performance that a guy can do his self, have similar cost, and is available to the regular sailor. Usually you have it trickle down from the race boat scene and it costs 10 times what it is replacing"
And I understand Nigel Caulder will be rigging with Dux soon on his new boat.

There are photos in my URL below.
