[C320-list] Mainsheet

[Pat Ireland]

Copied from the Cat 34 forum - tom's post - dated 2002 -
"I'm also going to upgrade the mainsheet system too...Garhauer is working up
a 7:1 system (vice 5:1) with a cleat on the fiddle block, while also leaving
the other free end going to the winch (like original); all with ball bearing
blocks...That way we can "fast trim" off the fiddle, then fine trim with the
winch...

 After racing just once, we found that trying to bring the main up after a
downwind leg took way too long, and was too much work...So with the new
system, we can pull the majority of the line up from the fiddle, then switch
back to the winch side when it gets loaded...Of course we have to remember
to keep one end of the sheet in a cleat at all times :-)"
