Bavaria Cruiser 33 Main sheet arrangement
«

Last weekend the mainsheet which is attached to the cockpit table decided when we accidentally gybed .To wrap itself round my neck and then to throw me against the cockpit side , Breaking my rib. A very painful experience.
I have always been wary of the mainsheet being attached to the table .
Has anybody modified this. I am told it would not be possible to fit a mainsheet track forward of the spray hood. Any comments would be most gratefully received.
Regards Tony

Don't know whether you could convert it to the double mainsheet arrangement, as on the Cruiser 37? I find it works well, and obviously makes accidental gybes less of a problem. But it would need strong points in the coachroof for the 2 blocks.

I had the rope wrap around a crew member during an accidental gybe. Fortunately just a bit of a shock. I have therefore stopped using the mid cockpit winch as this puts people in line with this danger.
I did have the rear ones fitted so use those.
Also the rope diameter is too thin causing one crew member to have rope burn. Should I go up a rope size?
The top block
(Rutgerson) also does not turn smoothly.
Is any one else having these problems? I still like the simplicity of the system allowing the helm to take over the main.
