Hi,
I've posted this question to the Blender forum - I know, please don't shoot me for cross-posting, but despite 18 people checking it out, I guess no one has encountered this before in the Blender-world, so I thought I'd ask here - see if any of you have tried this.
I'm getting ready to submit my first freebie:

but I've run into a snag, a show-stopper. Whilst I can model the jib and jib-sheet to be static props (they don't move) the boom and mainsail do, and so therefore I need to have some sort of mainsheet assembly where it would adjust based on the position of the boom. I have two mirrored boom/mainsail props, for the corresponding tack (port or starboard) so the mainsheet travel would never have to be very far.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can best accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any and all responses...
Cheers
