[Public-List] Main Sheet

[via Public-List]

Wes,
I have one of those blue mesh sheet bags that I attach with three snaps to the bulkhead directly behind the tiller.  I think it came with suction cups but I swapped them out for snaps.  It actually works very well.  A few quick coils of any excessive sheet stuffed in the bag always seem to flay back out when needed without any issues.  As an added bonus, I have Harken fiddle blocks with snap shackles on each block.  When not sailing I unsnap the blocks from the boom and traveler and store them in the bag in a cockpit locker. My main sheet is 18 years old and looks and feels brand new.

Hi All,

My main sheet consistently lies in the bottom of the cockpit behind the tiller and gets hung up on the bolt through the tiller head.  No matter where I seem to toss it down the dang thing gets hung up when cracking off.

I've ordered a sheet bag, does anyone else have them?

I was also thinking of making some kind of "fairing" around the tiller head or something such that the sheet would slip free.
