Okay, just one question: When you release or pull in your mainsheet or traveler, do you look back at your mainsheet/traveler system while you are adjusting it?


Yes, I do. Your question makes me think that I shouldn't? Should I be looking at the sail instead, or what should I be focussed on?

You don't like cleating the mainsheet. What's wrong with cleating the mainsheet? I assume you don't object to cleating the traveler?
