hi all!...great summer sailing so far but need some advice. have had problem getting tangled in mainsheet slack hanging down from boom as boom crosses during maneuvering...so much so that it caused a capsize last outing. great fun, but frustrating at same time!! have fashioned some loops of small diameter line from three of the sail rings between the two sheaves on the boom to support the mainsheet when it goes slack...will this work or other suggestions please? cheers and thank you!
I did the same as Fred - just used (2) zip-ties, snugged them up with enough room to let the mainsheet freely move through, and snipped the ends of the zip-ties. Works great!
