Funny you post that. Just this morning I was out with winds 10-30mph and wishing the same thing. Luckily there is no reason you can't position yourself in front of the wheel to ease the main, the boat doesn't care where you sit as long as you can adjust the wheel. I also notice when I am more amidship I can trim the sails easier and let the boat steer itself while I step below for something (head). Seems like when I trim it out while aft, then move forward, my course deviates quite a bit.
