I think the mainsail trimmer and the helmsman needs close contact.to talk with each other easily.on the cabin top the jib trimmers are in the way

I am particularly interested in hearing from those who race with this setup. Growing up on a C&C36 with this system it did not seem to matter as we were day sailing with a dodger always up and doing rough trim only. However from a racing perspective the view planes would be far different when sitting that far forward and the system may be awkward or not. On the positive side it would seem to get weight out of the cockpit. What is the word from the main sail trimmers in this group? On the CC115 the traveller is immediately in front of binnacle and winch on either side for sheet as well as WW sheeting car for traveller. Has its owne issues but is nice because trimmer can work closely with driver. Probably too much weight aft though Mike main trimmer, C&C 115 Koobalibra _____ No virus found in this message.
