apparently they have made it to Norfolk - a couple of days early though!

This isn't so. It is the distance from the anchor point in the boat (mast foot) to the deck that is the key driver. Adding purchase above the deck reduces the amount the shrouds can be let off. Once the blocks in the boat stop moving, the bits above the deck do too and if there are three parts rather than two, they move only two thirds the distance. Work it out on a piece of graph paper if you don't believe me.
