I think that placing the mainsheet in the tiller hand on when kicking out to the trapeze will work great. I can head up if I need too.

I will sheet in with my free hand into the tiller hand to if there is a lot of excess pull. I just have to work on steering a strait course when doing that.

It sounds like one of my problems is I have too much weather helm. Maybe I will toe in my rudders a little so I don’t have to hang on to the tiller so hard when I need both hands. I was trying to load up my rudders to point my asymmetrical hulled Prindle 18 better.

I do sail solo about half the time. The only difference in the tacking procedure I use is to backing the jib a little in light air.

I use “Quick Pins” instead of clevis pins (key ring) on all of the pins I have to remove regularly. They are a little expensive, but worth the cost (to me).

Thank you for your replys.
