Hey, all, I am looking for advice on boom sheeting. As you know, the Montgomery 17 boom sheeting is done mid-boom, with a traveler in the floor of the cockpit. I have been thinking about moving the sheet to the boom end to get the sheet out of the middle of the cockpit. I am considering installing a fiddle block on the boom end, with single block with becket on one quarter, and a single block on the other, similar to the Norsea 27 sheeting arrangement. Has anyone made such a change, and if so, how did it work out? Thanks for any comments. Will
