>Re-arranging the main sail sheeting will probably
force the sailor to reside farther aft. I also image such an arrangement
makes sail handling and steering a royal pain.
Not so... I repositioned the
mainsheet at the end of the boom on my M15 and added a boom vang. With
the aid of a Forespar adjustable tiller extension, I sit forward in the
cockpit most of the time. Sometimes I even sit on the bridge deck
with my legs dangling through the companionway into the cabin. Of
course, this seating position is possible only if you remove of all
the mainsheet tackle from the bridge deck.
