I also appreciate the need for good mainsheet systems. I changed the system on Resolute twice before I settled on the present 5:1/20:1 system. It involved moving the traveller from behind the pedestal to in front of it. I found the 6:1 purchase was hard to release when loaded up. So I added a 4:1 double ended fine tune and lowered the traveller to the cockpit floor. This change allowed me to drop a pulley and shorten the mainsheet length 20 feet.
If I had the traveller on the coach roof like the 35 MkIII, which uses three blocks on the boom to spread the load, I'd set it up for singlehanding by keeping the present purchase and take the aft end of the purchase back to a block on the boom end (you'll need to add a Bail and a block) and install a fine tune between that and a padeye through bolted to the cockpit floor right in front of the pedestal. This would give you the ability to ease the main from the helm when hard on the wind, so you can turn around the windward mark, or simply play the main in gusty conditions. You'll need to replace the mainsheet with longer line to do any of these things.
