Full German mainsheet on 36i?

[Quiddle]

Has any one fitted or considered a mainsheet conversion on the 36i with an end to end sheet led back to both primary winches and cockpit clutches to lock off the genny & main. Are there any foreseeable problems with this other than extra lines on the sidedecks?
All suggestions most welcome.

Hi Andy

I did this on our 39i a couple of seasons ago and the results have been fantastic

I wrote up my method - but I sure there are other options as well - at

Happy to answer any questions

Thanks Malcolm. I should have thought to look in hints and tips first.

Hi Andy

Not at all - you will probably have noted there is also a link

 to some images of a 36i with the conversion, but personally I don't like how the sheets cross over the side-deck. I also think that full clutches are better than the jammers used.
