I agree with Todd it is a last ditch resort as far as upwind in breeze is concerned. We play it a bit more downhill, but then the skipper is on the boat. It would be good to hear from some Nacra 17 teams on what they are doing with the traveler downwind double wired.

Bach,

This isn't trivial...I threw it out there to get the minds thinking, but in my head it isn't possible. The crew is on the helms wire downwind and I don't want anything attached to that wire to trip me up in my already clumsy jibes (just ask Keki Figueroa). I also don't want the helm to get tripped up on the traveler in the tacks.

What's the verdict of center sheeting off the boom?
