[quote=MN3][quote]If your running without the spin, traveling all the way out is plenty. You will still be sheeted fairly tight.
Keep in mind that you will rarely want to sail dead down wind. I like to keep the tells on the bridals at about 90* with the apparent wind.[/quote]
Where i sail, at low tide you can't sail everywhere and there are lots of times you must sail dead downwind, or spin-less
[quote]you have considerably more sheet than most F18s.[/quote]
I would want to have extra vs not enough in a blow (been there) -
I have a pig tail system (spliced dynema) that i can adjust the top blocks about 6" . that equals 4.5' of more (or less) mainsheet with my 9:1[/quote]
