Thanks Josh, that was really helpful.
I'm going to play around with some (or all) of your ideas, for sure!
Cheers,

Dave,
The 3:1 portion IIRC is 80ish feet. The part that runs along the boom and
deck is always there so as a purchase system it doesn't add to the birds
nest. The 50 extra feet ensure that I can let the boom out nearly
perpendicular to the mast. My boom attachment is roughly at 10' so some
t along boom to mast and then down and back.

Hi Josh- How long does the mainsheet need to be for this setup with coarse,
fine and winch? Are all those stock blocks? I am not sure what you would call
the double fiddle with the offset becket. Dave

That's a great setup Josh.
Ours is a bear for similar reasons with even less leverage on the cabin-top
traveler.
So far we just grinned and beared it. I'll put something similar on the to
do list :-)

My boat came setup from the PO with a cabin top mainsheet control to a
cabin top winch. It was painfully under powered even with the winch. My
traveler is located in the cockpit on the aft edge of the forward bench. I
had previously, on other boats, only ever used a 4:1 mainsheet which was

Thanks for jumping in.
For reference, it looks like this diagram.
The traveler is on the bridge deck. The problem is the purchase. I might add a
triple at the top and move the double to the bottom. That will give me 3:1
instead. But it doesn’t solve my wanting to trim the jib on the

Any chance you have some pictures? I tried google and sailboatdata but
can't tell if your boat has a cabin top traveler or a cockpit traveler?
Just for clarity, are you having trouble trimming the traveler or the
mainsheet?

Hi Listers,
Anyone with a C 41 have suggestions on a mainsheet set-up?
My new-to-me boat has a "German" mainsheet set-up that runs to the runner
winches. It's supposed to be the hot set-up but I'm not impressed.
Since I'm using a 97% r/f jib, I find tacking that alone using the runner
winches to
