Interesting to see that the mainsheet has been rigged different ways at different times (none appearing to involve using pins through the quarter-knees though). One picture shows the sheet deadended below a hole in the port knee. Another method seems to involve using a turning block on each quarter-knee. This last method, together with a third block on the boom, would give a purchase of perhaps 1.7 or so, and would be a practical thing to do. It was the way I rigged Aileen Louisa's mainsheet, the end not in use on whatever tack being cleated off just forward of the quarter-block.
