<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Déception.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The double main sheet, works, but just "OK" since on some points of sailing, the sail turns to a bag, since there is no boom on a Tiki 21 mainsail.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Those of you who have tried this system have found a way to flatten the main?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">With thanks,</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>

<p>My next project will be to put a beam at the back of the cat, and try to install a wind vane. I found a nice design on an <span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; cursor: text; font-family: Futura,'Century Gothic',AppleGothic,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Italian website</span>, and will try to find the time to built it. </p>

<p>What is wrong with Jam cleats as per the original drawing ?</p>
<p>That is what a conventional mainsheet uses.</p>

<p>Thank you Reuben,</p>
<p>I think it is also possible like this, with two sheets and double blocks, but with the width of the Tiki and the engine in the middle, I can't figure how to put the cleats for an easy control.</p>

<p>Read the text, you will find one end of the sheet controls travel the other leech tension. should work a treat, but requires a boom, maybe, I haven't considered that.</p>
