I've been listening to you guys and my boat has what I think is the
best of both worlds. One of the POs of my boat put a mid-boom arrangement on
Liberty but left the bridge deck track in place so we can now use either one.
When we are on a mooring for a few days I un-clip the bridge deck main sheet
and put on the mid boom sheet and we have a clean cockpit. We can sail with
either arrangement but I like the bridge deck one better for sailing.
