[quote=ADixon]Floyd,
Lets separate two issues:
1) Uncleating the main;
2) Tight main sheet.
Uncleating the main depends mostly on the angle of lower block incidence. There must be a screw to adjust it and that's all. Play with it and set it to the angle you are comfortable with. That must be simple to fix...
No matter what people saying about the main sheet... I had H16, as you did, for a few years, sailed A-cat and Nacra F17 on a few occasions, and currently crew on F18. All boom-equipped boats. Nothing compares to boomless N5.5SL in terms of sheet load. Look at it from physics point of view. The sheet attachment point is not at the clew, so you have to divide the force by "foot length"/"distance from tack to sheet attachment point". The force is considerably higher, but I believe one feels it only in stronger winds.
