[quote=MN3][quote=smfinley][quote=Wolfman] May have been better if I could have gotten on the wire but then I would have had to steer, travel, main and jib all at the same time on the wire. I couldn't handle all that yet, and probably should have left the jib at home.

Typically if I am solo and on the wire all I worry about is the main sheet and tiller.   I will set the jib and traveller and if I need to adjust them I will come in off the wire.  I just recreational sail, but trying to manage 3 lines and the tiller will only get you into trouble.  When I had a H16 I would try to leave the jib sheet near my feet, but it would often slide away from me, on my H18M I can't keep it near me while trapping off the wings.[/quote]

If the traveler line (bitter end) is tied to mainsheet bitter end.. you can pull in the extra line and get to your traveler line.. i also try to keep my jib sheet at my feet but often have to swing my feet in to get it..

I also like to practice my juggling, make a mixed drink, and maybe play some guitar while on the wire...
