All get comments on where to place the sheets I just wanted to add one comment. When you have the sheet behind the shrouds if you pitchpole you should hang onto the jib sheet. When you pass forward during a pitchpole the sheet will actually pull tight and preventing you form going around the front of the mast or hitting the bows or something. Thats if you remember to hang onto the sheet line when you pitchpole. You may damage a jib sheet block when it pulls tight but better a jib sheet block than a human part. Boat parts can be replaced but human parts are harder to replace. You should also have sailing gloves on as rope burn sucks and wrapping a line around your hand is not always a great idea because if something bad does happen you may brake a finger or crush your hand. Sheet lines can sometimes move faster then a person can react. We had a local sailor who broke a finger because he had a sheet line wrapped around his hand, just something to watch out for. Once again pitchpoling on a H16 is highly over rated but just like on any cat it can and will happen.<br><br>
