I sail alone most of the time, but even if I have someone else on the boat, I'll always have the jib (oschen blocks) cleated and will play the main (cleated) with the oschen blocks in the puffs. I'm fairly strong, but if I tried to hold my TheMightyHobie18 magnum with a 6:1 uncleated all the time in anything over 12 k, I'd be exhausted.

I'd rather concentrate on the driving and get my head out of the boat.
