Default Main Sail Trim

BTW, It's nor unusual for mid boom sheeted boats to have problems with
the sheet.
It's all those kids sitting on the coachouse spilling their red
cordial on the blocks.


That, plus the sheet lead which has a lot of blocks (ie drag
+ extra line length) to make up for the lack of leverage and
the lead which is usually to an awkward place (after all, it
has to be "out of the way") instead of to a trimmer's location.
