We set up our mainsheet to be as short as possible and still be functional. I'll lay the slack across my body and at most the line just kisses the top of the water. You can also try handing the slack off to your skipper, it's not like they are doing all that much, how many hands does it take to hold a tiller? I know it's an imposistion for them but they usually get over it... sort of.
