I’m currently helping a few new members from our late summer L2 course. They learnt in Bahia and are sailing Bahia or Quest.
I feel it’s time to try a proper boat, as we have a couple of GP’s needing sailors at the moment, and we’d like to increase the number of GPs racing.
My question: the sailors are centre mainsheet: the boats are stern sheet. Do I convert the sailors or do I convert the boats?
My boat has previously been fitted with centre main to accommodate such beginners in the past, but I changed back afterwards, because I usually sail single-handed and like to sit in front of the centre main location. The newbies will sail only double-handed for now.
We already have enough spare parts to do a conversion on two boats.
People’s thoughts would be welcome.
