Hey Joe, 4:1 mainsheet is fine for the light winds of Chesapeake Bay until the wind fills in and then 6:1 would be much better. 4:1 with a fine tune added would be the best solution. The C&C 99 has a 4:1 / 8:1 mainsheet that works well.
My 34R has 5:1 with a 20:1 double ended fine tune. This allows me to release the mainsheet in a very controlled manner when it's heavily loaded, rounding the windward mark. Where is your traveller now?
