You are saying that the "extra" line would be up in the blocks rather than on the tramp, not using a teather, right?

Yeah, but it feels better and the main comes in much quicker as you are not pulling all that extra line through the blocks to trim it in. I was even thinking of extending the teather to make my blocks get to "block to block" just to get rid of more sheet. As it is now, when fully sheeted in, my blocks are maybe 1' apart.

I also just bought a new mainsheet, a single braid Robline soft fuzzy type, with a dyneema last 10 feet or so spliced in. (Thanks to Mike Krantz, at Layline, I called him on Weds. and had it at my house on Friday, was racing with it on Saturday)

It it is so much lighter and easier to flick the tail up onto the tramp after you sheet it in and it's dragging in the water. It also runs through the blocks faster, easier to pull in when loaded up and softer on the back of you hand when you have it wrapped up. $89.
