I also haven't used the aft foot blocks to turn jib sheets for reasons already cited. Another possible solution to over-rides on the primary winches is to raise them up an inch or two on spacer pads. (George Darrell (Paradox) recommended this approach to me last year, saying it solved his problems.) I got mine from West Marine and then had them shaved to a diameter just a tad greater than the diameter of the bottom of the winch barrel. No shock cord needed, at least not yet, on my boat.
