Has anyone changed their end boom sheeting sytem? I'm thinking of placing a mid boom sheeting system with the travler on the bridge deck or possibly using two fiddle block systems mounted one on each side of companion way on the coach roof.

Don't think I would want the sheeting system in the way of the companionway. The original setup has the sheet out of the way and readily available for handling by helmsman.

I agree with Keith. another thought is that installing the track on the bridge deck would be a "bugger" due to the lack of space betweenn he forward cockpit bulkhead and the aft cabin bulkhead.

Thanks guys. I too like the free space forward. And my wife really hated the idea as she likes to sit on the bridge deck. I'm trying to figure out the best way to accomadate a bimini. Any ideas?
