Subject: [C320-list] Jib Sheet Control

Bruce,
 
Your suggestion back a few days on using the leeward jib winch as a turning

block and routing the sheet across the cockpit to the windward winch is a 
great  method.
 
I do a lot of singlehanded sailing and over the weekend I decided to try  
your technique.
 
Since I prefer to be on the windward side of the wheel this method makes it

ideal to watch the telltales and adjust the sheet while having a clear view

ahead.  I do not see where the sheet line across the cockpit would be a  
problem unless one had a boat full of people all hanging out in the
cockpit.
 
 
Thanks for the idea.
