Having loads of rope all over the boat from my 6 : 1 main sheet is annoying me a little. Has anybody tried a 4:1 plus a 2:1 cascade running along the boom. The plan would be to pull in as tight as needs and cleat the main sheet then fine tune using the 2:1 from the mid boom. If you worked it right the 2:1 would still allow enough to dump the main without having to release the main sheet 4:1.

Just an idea, comments please. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
