the higher up you put the take off the more it tries to pull the traveller block into the centre , a simple drawing will support this or jury rigging a block tied round the mainsheet traveller to centre board anchor does the trick. think that was the theory as explained to me by a much more experienceed ok sailor, Terry
Yep – no doubt.
At the moment I’m fouling the sheet with the hiking straps ‘cos my feet are pushing the straps right onto the block. If I raise the block a couple of inches I should solve that problem and I doubt I’ll make the centre-pull of the sheet much greater. Icebreakers are finished that way…..it can’t be too bad!
