Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.

We’re going to have to share it for the time being 😊

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi. the family has a loathing of rear mainsheets so I have a centre main conversion. There is nothing wrong with the rear arrangement and i'm sure purists will be tutting into their cans of Sikkens, but the main reasons are: 1. if there are two of you sailing the boat, the rear main can get in the way. eg. those big gybes on the way down to Salcombe were easy with one on the tiller and another controlling the main. 2. I like being close to the mainsheet cleat; less chance it does the wrong thing. 3. when sailing alone (especially when the wind gets up) I like one hand on the tiller and one on the sheet. One forward, one back just feels better. Great for playing the main over a swell. 4. When running In really light winds, there is less rope outboard (two falls instead of three) which means the boom is pulled in less and they don't fall in the water as much. (this is doesn't really matter but it makes me happy) If we have a full cockpit for a gentle trip up the river/coast, the rear main gets rigged, it works fine and is out of the way of passengers. As the wind increases and there are other boats to beat, the centre main comes out. I'll do a little video on this, but it's basically rigged like a laser. The little 'moving pin on the map' is just a replayed track on Navionics captured as a screen recording.

@@Morningvicar Thanks for the full reply! I will have to give it a try next year... :)
