Mainsheet 10:1 upgrade

Based upon a suggestion from the groups.io F-boat group, I have upgraded the stock 6:1 mainsheet system on my Dash 750 MK2 with a 10:1 system. It was quite easy. First of all, I switched the line to an 8 mm polyester double braid with an easy hand. Then I purchased two Ronstan series 40 blocks and placed them in the middle of the existing Harken system with one dyneema soft shackle.  I then removed the Harken cam cleat and attached a Spinlock PXR 8-10 cleat. The advantage of the PXR is it is easy to release under load. Smooth and easy...

Parts needed for this upgrade are shown below.
The stock  6:1 system that came with Kimosabi is below.
Finally, I added two eyestraps and two series 40 blocks to the traveler, making it much easier to handle.
