we run the sheets between the shrouds and through the deck tracks, but we also have a set of winches on the combing of the cockpit dedicated to them. the location is very convenient for the helmsman to tack besides, to get to the bow i walk along the cabin top anyway because i am just not coordinated enough to slip through or around the shrouds. so is try my best to stay off that deck area. not sure how we will run the sheets if we ever get a cruising spinnaker.
