[quote=nofearofflying]I stand corrected ,except for comments on utilizing longer main sheet from blocks to traveler-if hit by humongus gust and to avert capsize u immediately uncleat/release main, on Dart 18 length of main sheet prevents main sail from completely swinging free to spill wind, longer main sheet allows main to come into contact with side stay/shroud and spill wind- i just replaced main sheet on my Ft,Lauderdale Dart 18 and will change the main sheet on my Fire Isle Dart 18 too, if it ever stops raining in the northeast, I have 7to1 harken blocks on Fla Dart and narrowed the diameter of main sheet /line to 5/16, replaced jib halyard with 1/4 inch, more than adequate & more space inside mast.[email][/email][/quote]
