I have the stock boom that came with the Capri 25 (1983) What do you all use for a topping lift configuration?

On my Capri 25 we have a light ~ 1/8 " line which we clip back of the boom outhaul shekel and runs thru the second shive at the top of the mast down the mast to a port exit shive, thru the line organizer and over to a light jam cleat by the port side of the companion way. Works well, always need to remember to loosen up after main is up.

I have a little heavier line. but it runs similar to Dick's until it exits the lower mast sheave (port side) then it runs up to a cleat on the port side of the mast around the level of the normal gooseneck setting.
The crew that feeds the main sail luff in the mast sail track is responsible for releasing the lift after the main is set.
It works, I've found no reason to change it.
Not sure how the factory intended this, my boat came set up like this.
