Lou,
I simply let the main sheet do whatever it wants on the cockpit
floor.....just as long as it doesn't get snarled. I usually sail with the main sheet in
one hand and the tiller in the other. You need enough main sheet to allow the
boom to swing into a wing on wing position. Any more than that and it's just
a lot of extra line to handle.

I totally understand! I may have limited one person's seating in
fact but hey, the Rhodes can handle 4 plus myself especially if
someone doesn't mind laying down on the settee! I don't have that
many friends anyway!
Still trying to see how much mainsheet I actually need because I hate
having to coil it after every sail and it s getting messy during the
sail also..any suggestions?
