Thanks for your input guys the trouble with extra rotation is that its making the sail even fuller making it harder to pull on.
Codblow as an 100kg ex front row rugby union forward who still plays squash up to 4 times a week, with a really physically demanding job, pushing up to 5000 ewes a day in and out of a box then scanning them all with my right arm I think theres something wrong with my technique. I have no trouble pulling the traveller accross its getting the main in.
I reckon it might have to be quads for heavy days

Yup big muscles built up from pushing aint going to be much ewes <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> for pulling in the mainsheet
or perhaps yur muscle bound ,
Practice pulling and I don't mean Sheilas <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
reckon it must be a technique thing as with your horse power you should be able to pull the sail to bits !!!!
what are you doing - using - sailing ?
I'm using harken 7 to 1 on 16m2 was origionall 6 to 1 with a tappered sheet , but went to 7 to 1 when i put 7mm swiftcord on - dogs bollocks , but needed extra purchase as it goes through blocks so easy .
I'm not small as you may have guessed ,115kgs and as fit as a hairdressers assistant <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
