Running Backstay setup

[FecklessDolphin]

If I read Brian's post correctly, he is advocating for a running backstay system composed of a single Dyneema line led to a block on the aft quarter and then to a secondary winch. Prior to reading this, everyone had steered me toward a 4:1 system with fiddle blocks. I like the idea of keeping fiddle blocks out of the air above my head. It also gives me another excuse to get secondary winches. The problem is that I do not have a spot for a rope clutch so that on port tack my secondary winch could not be used to reef my jib because the running backs would be using it. I have a new to me Morris Justine that I plan to sail offshore. Running backstays have been highly recommended. I have a thick mast (Metal Mast) with double lowers.
