     This is what we do
     [1]http://www.catalina320.com/mediagallery/album.php?aid=271&page=1
     We can rig an adjustable block to the tack instead of the wire
     strop,
     depending what sort of sailing we are doing.
     And like Irv we use the horn cleat aft and to the winch

     We also use a douser for the gennaker and a single line for a sheet.
     To
     tack we douse the sail, throw it past the forestay, carry the sheet
     to the
     other side. and raise the douser sock.
     We use the horn of aft cleats for the Gennaker sheets and feed them
     to the
     winches.
     We don't use the Gennaker that much so we don't bother with a block
     at the
     aft cleat
     We also mount a block to the anchor support bale for the tack line
     Then we pull the line for the Cunningham hook/reefing hook forward
     to the
     bow in a big loop and make a double bowline or figure eight knot to
     make a
     loop. Pull that loop forward outboard of the mainsheet deck mounted
     block
     so it has a clear run to the cabin top winch. Then the tack line
     goes
     forward of the pulpit , thru the block and gets tied to the loop
     made in
     the reefing line with an easily untied bowline..
     Then the tack can be adjusted from the cockpit using the cabin top
     winch.
     It generally a bit of a job to rig that gennaker and so we only rig
     it
     when we know we have a really long run to make,because its a job to
     tack it
     since we only use a single sheet line.
     But its beautiful once its up and drawing and makes it worth the job
     of
     getting it rigged.
