Question: does your crew handle any of the sheets?[/quote]
The crew only handles the jib and in wind like this even 2:1 on the sheet isnt enough for them to play it all day so it was mostly cleated and I just dealt with the main getting backwinded. There was so much power it didnt seem to hurt me too bad to close the slot a bit from time to time. I did have the crew run the traveler once the wind came up. I would just tell them "one foot out, 6" in etc" all day. Way easier than me trying to get to the end of the main sheet to adjust it myself.
A lot of the other boats are now giving the main sheet to the crew due to strength and fatigue issues but I don't plan on doing that any time soon since I work the helm and sheet at the same time depending what I am trying to do and I think there would be too much delay from me communicating what I want to happen and it actually happening.
Besides I need all the workout I can get ha<!-- editby --><em>Edited by tamumpower1 on May 12, 2017 - 04:43 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
