[quote=P.M.][quote=yurdle]you want to induce rotation, not limit it.[/quote]
That's right. All boomless rigs you want to induce rotation, especially off the wind. On rigs with booms the rotation is induced due to compression from the mainsheet on the boom, so you want to limit rotation. It's sometimes easier to understand if you look at the mainsheet angle in relation it's anchoring point. With booms it is pulling the anchor point forward, and on boomless it is pulling the clew back.
I think I covered this in detail awhile back. With the stock forward rotation on the boomless rig, you can actually over rotate (induce) and limit rotation. It is a very clean set up and uses one continuous line. I think there is a photo in my album.[/quote]
