Be careful where you mount the mid boom point as you need to be aware of where the crew stands and the proximity of the side stay. The side stay severly limits the angle of the sheet. As a single hander to hold both sheet and rudder stick meant it almost negated any point in a centre boom mount. It does work well though as it does anchor your feet much better than a side loading.
