I was thinking of a side by side similar to a Ronstan RF41202. 1300 lb SWL is probably overkill but its better than having it fail.
Tied to the tack of the UPS I have a 12' line. It runs from the launching bag, forward to a block at the stemhead, then back to a cam cleat at the aft end of the cuddy. The bag has a clip on the bottom that I attach to the mast. I pull the tack forward to the block, pull the halyard, and trim the sheet. To retrieve, I head downwind to blanket the UPS, gather it from behind the mainsail, and stuff in the bag.
