Alan,
I had the same troubles. I eliminated one block and now run a 4:1 to a cabin
top winch. I’d still be interested in trying a 6:1 like Joel. I guess I’ll
get some experience with his arrangement next Spring.

Subject: [SPAM]Re: Stus-List 6 part mainsheet
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.
