You'll have to explain how that works. I was taught there's no such thing as a
free lunch.

Remember, a Nonsuch 30 has a 540 sq ft main and requires end of boom sheeting.
The mast is about 27 feet from the stern, and the optimal downwind angle is 180
degrees in any wind.

Since a Nonsuch is often sailed more like a dinghy, and the
amount of line you have to haul in to go from dead downwind to close hauled is
huge (about 70 feet) it was very nice.

Buy a Harken double ended mainsheet fiddle. You could pull in twice as much
line with the same effort.
