My 37C staysail sheet comes down the port gunwale to a cleat mounted on the outer side of the cockpit. Upwind in a blow it is impossible to sheet it tight enough without a winch to reduce twist and leech flutter to a reasonable level. Other than vanging the jibboom, any creative solutions to address this issue? I have effectively put the sheet on the self tailing primary winch but then if I want to use the yankee on starboard tack I am snookered. Has anyone added a staysail sheet winch?
Please don't tell me all about traveller adjustment. I grew up racing high performance dinghies and have done all that.
