[quote=Dogboy]I will add that on my H17, I screwed a short PVC "post," about 4 inches long to one of the grommets near the front of the center tramp lacing. When sailing upwind, I can throw the mainsheet/traveler loop over this post which keeps the line on board. If I need to dump sheet, the tramp is flexible enough that the post will bend back and the mainsheet will just pop off. So that has been my solution when sailing solo and it works reasonably well (I just have to remember to put the line over the post before going out on the wire).
For a double handed boat, the post would get in the way of the crew, so like I stated in my original reply, letting the crew take care of the mainsheet is the simplest and best approach IMO.
