German mainsheet?

Hi,
I would like to upgrade my B43 Cr to singel-handed. How shall then the mainsheet run from the bom to be controled by helmsman? Are there any instructions/manuals/guides or a scheme over the mainsheet run somewhere?

I'm interested in doing this too. That description looked like it used the primary winches though. What do they do with the jib/Genoa sheets?

It seems they use the optional spi winches, which is a great idea. I will check this on our boat as soon i'm back on board again!

I wouldn't be very keen on drilling holes into my chainplates as shown in the linked article and putting considerable loads on them in a direction they're not designed to take it in. Nor would I trust an eye bolt without a load rating to take mainsheet loads, especially as it's getting loaded at a ~45 degree angle. Bit dodgy solution to say the least!
