When going from a run to a beat I need to trim the mainsheet a lot, fast. So I pull it with one hand, hold the sheet with the tiller hand, and re-grip with the other hand. The problem I have is that I usually end up holding it in the tiller hand between just my thumb and forefinger. That is okay most of the time but it is too easy for the sheet to get away and run out about six feet -- a disaster at the start or rounding the leeward mark. So --- how do you hold the sheet in your tiller hand? How many fingers can you get on it, and how do you avoid losing your grip on it?
