Bill,
Thats what I use. I have the cleat shackled to the chainplate so I pull up
to cleat.
I used prestretch control line (1/4") which goes up to a 20mm single
swivel block
attached to the actual cap scroud line. (lightning rope, or whatever you
are using.) Then the 1/4" goes back to the clamcleat. E.g it looks like
the trapeeze system but upside down. Make the line with no sails up so you
know the mast is straight.
So far it has worked out pretty well and never come uncleated by itself.

Subject: Cap Shroud Adjustment
Bram,
Would a C253 V-Cleat (used in trapeze cleat setup) work, as an alternative to
the C255 Cleat/backing plate setup, with the triple blocks for the Cap
Shroud Adjustment system? I envision the C253 rigged with a 1:1 purchase
to the
lower triple, the upper cleat hole attached to the cap shroud line and the
lower
cleat hole shackled to the upper triple block. The concern that I have is
that the C253 is for a minimum of 3/16" line and the roller is reinforced
nylon.
See the attached PDF file. I look forward to your insight.
