A couple of things: first, when it comes to rigging, every DS is unique - almost. Not only were there several rigging options available for new boats (and those changed a bit over time as well), but many, if not most boats have seen some customization. As class rules do not restrict these, there's no need for people wanting to race the boat to limit themselves to a stock setup. In other words, your setup may not match any generic instructions.
Second, this very issue has been discussed here more than once this summer alone. But people simply went and showed details of their rigs that they had problems with and asked questions about. By reading the recent posts in all the sections (also DSII, Rigging and perhaps Repair) you should be able to find these discussions - even when they hide under some innocuous sounding title.
By now, you've probably have some general idea, but a few remaining questions. Why not post those questions here and we may be able to walk you through specific issues - including whether it makes sense for you to change or improve some of your rigging.
