Paul,

There would be no doubt the crush potential is there & our sailing future would be certainly affected....can you sheet in tight without a wrap of sheet around your hand.? I am a big framed person & i have to wrap.

But then again there shouldn't be any complaints as Geert obviously manages to sheet & steer with one hand.

Rachets allways on....
