      I’m preparing a boat for the Southport 24 hour race, she’s a woody (6281), and still aft main.

      I’m tempted to leave her as is but as most crews will be more used to centre main techniques, I ‘m considering converting.

      There is a wire horse, approx. 24″ at present. I’m thinking  it kinder on the centre board casing to use the horse and a block, running the sheet forward to another block then down to a main sheet block on the centre board case.

      I’ve seen the split tailed main sheet, is that necessary?

      If I stick with aft main, does a ratchet block help with heavy loads?

      Any advice welcome, thank you.

      Steve
