Hi everybody,
Something I wanted to do,for at least ten years,was moving main sheet system,track and traveller and point of attachment on the boom,forward,next to the locker,because while single handed I got sick of jumping the track and crossing my hands operating the tiller and main sheet.
Now the cockpit seems as big as a ballroom! and is always clear which hand handles the tiller and which the main sheet!?!.It feels a little bit crowded on top of front locker with main sheet,two jib sheets and two traveler adjusting ropes,but I'll get used with it,and I am thinking to add an extra loop in the main sheet if it is to hard to adjust the main in heavy weather.
But the big surprise is almost ZERO weather helm in about 14 knots breeze !!!!!and consequently the boat feels faster.I still have to see its behavior in heavy weather,but so far so ... excellent.
