Rick always uses the mainsheet for that purpose, so I wasn't thinking about the traveler.
Regarding what Maugan said, the reason the imagery was interesting was that he was talking about putting the whole tiller crossbar in front of not just the mainsheet system but in front of the sheet. I don't think he meant to say it the way it sounded.
When you lengthened your tillers to put the crossbar in front of the mainsheet system, did it affect your steering leverage in any way?

It takes some special rigging for the center mounted mainsheet cleat.
Hey people, ever sail a TRAC 16? It has the tiller crossbar in front of the mainsheet. You have to reverse the role of each hand when you're used to a standard cat. I.E. the fore most hand now runs the tiller, isntead of the aftmost hand.
