The mainsheet on the M-15 leads from the boom down to the block and cleat located at the forward end of the cockpit near the centerboard line. This is perfectly convenient for me, the skipper, but I notice that if I have crew aboard they must step over or around the sheet when moving from side to side. Has anyone rerouted the sheet, moving it aft a foot or two on the boom and then straight down to a block installed on the cockpit floor, thereby leaving space for the crew to move unimpaired? If yes, any advice on how to do it? I am thinking that I would first fasten (epoxy plus screws) a wood square to the cockpit floor, then attach the new block and cleat with screws or recessed bolts. Thanks, Kevin M-15 #518 "Scout"
