Mainsheet Controls - Enclosed Cockpit

[Pat Ross]

I have attached a photo of the Admiral 40 cockpit. If you look carefully on top of the dash is a small winch to manage the Main Sheet. It is coming from a "turning block", I think that is the correct term, from the port side, travels across the top of the dash to the starboard side in front of the helm.

I am looking for other pictures and descriptions of other boats, mono or multi, that bring the mainsheet controls into an enclosed cockpit.

Thanks,

Pat

Manta catamarans have all control lines (halyards, reefing lines, sheets, vang and preventer) leading to the cockpit through line organizers, clutches and an electric winch. There is a built in line bin along with a fabric bag to hold lines.

Attached are pictures.

Thank you, great photo, very helpful. Any chance a few photos of the traveler and sheet line(s) setup?

There is no traveller - just a single attachment point on the hardtop for the mainsheet. The mainsheet attaches to the end of the boom, through a attachment block, through the boom, down to a block at the base of the mast and to the organizer/clutch/winch. That would be the yellow line in the picture. The jib is self-tacking and has the jib sheet connected to a padeye on the cabin top, through a block on the jib clew, through a block on the other side of the cabin top and back to the organizer/clutch/winch.
