My boat came with a 6 part mainsheet arrangement, but I switched to a three part and self-tailing winch. The problem with the former arrangement: In light air, when rounding the windward mark, the main wouldn't go out without someone pushing the boom out. When rounding the leeward mark, it took too long to trim in the main (the sheet was twice as long). In heavy air, it was difficult for the crew to release the sheet from the cam cleat. The present arrangement works better on Thirsty.
