LooserLu said:a long enough mainsheet is much needed, that do allow you, to set the boom a bit more than 90 degrees to the centerline of the boat for not to gybe but defense your position in the fleet (where the next competitor at the starboatside is away only a few foot and to the portside the same).
Ergo: Marking the mainsheet is much better than knoting it.
