Hi Chuck I have seen your setup on a C&C 115. The 115 typically has the main sheet on either side go directly from traveler to aft winches but on the 115 I mentioned it went along boom to mast and then down and back.
With your current setup could you not use the primaries for the main sheet when you wish to use the secondaries (aft winches) for your jib?

[image1.gif] For reference, it looks like this diagram. The traveler is on the bridge deck. The problem is the purchase. I might add a triple at the top and move the double to the bottom. That will give me 3:1 instead. But it doesn’t solve my wanting to trim the jib on the aft winches. Before I go buy a more traditional cascading set up like the Ronstan RP72900 4:1/8:1, I want to think it out.

I tried google and sailboatdata but can't tell if your boat has a cabin top traveler or a cockpit traveler? Just for clarity, are you having trouble trimming the traveler or the mainsheet?

My new-to-me boat has a "German" mainsheet set-up that runs to the runner winches. It's supposed to be the hot set-up but I'm not impressed. Since I'm using a 97% r/f jib, I find tacking that alone using the runner winches to be pretty easy, but what to do with the main? Also the 2:1 nature of the German set-up is not really that easy to trim, even with the winches. I'm thinking I'd like a 4:1/8:1 more traditional set-up or a reasonable suggestion(?). Thanks in advance for the help.
