I agree with Dwight. The main affects helm so much and both need to be coordinated in the turns. I like having the main trimmer close. I like our setup, but there are so many options.
We moved our traveller in front of the pedestal guard and close to the cockpit floor and added pulleys and jamcleats so the crosshauls and 24:1 fine tune are on either side of the cockpit and at the edge of the coaming, dinghy style. The 6:1 mainsheet attaches to the 15 ft boom at about 13 ft from the goosneck, so it has tremendous leverage and control, and all controls can also be reached by the helmsman, which works when I daysail shorthanded. Pulling the crosshaul is a pull up and if powered up, allows you to use your legs, and keeps you on your seat, and in the boat. Never need to kick the traveller car or the jam cleats; just pull gently on the 24:1 fine tune, or let some out.

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.
