By messing I mean not making permanent changes. Just take one or two legs out of the arrangement by skipping a block or two when reeving the mainsheet. For instance, if you have a block and becket at the traveller, just go from the becket to the block on the boom (Skip the teturn to the block) and then to the normal mainsheet cleat. Another example for light air is to terminate the mainsheet at the first block on the boom using a bowline around the block and down to the mainsheet cleat. (assuming the main sheet cleat is at the deck in front of the cabin). If yoant 2 to 1 continue to reeve the mainsheet back to the block on the aft block near the transom and tie the bowline there, On Fri, Aug 12, 2022 at 10:09 AM Jim Sadler <jimsadler@jascopacific.com> wrote:
M15 skippers Have any of you skipper reduced the main sheet from a (3) part to (2) part? The (3) part seems over kill for a vessel this small . Quicker response with a (2) part.
Thanks
