I actually tie the end of my vang to the front of the centerboard, but whatever rocks your boat.<br /><br />I understand the theory of why tying the mainsheet should reduce the chance of knots. But as you say it can still tie itself in some knots but theoretically they are easier to undo than knots where a free end has been involved.<br /><br />There are two schools of thought as to where to tie the mainsheet. Front of toestrap or back of toestrap. Related to whether you like to keep all the sheet at the front or the back of the cockpit. i have tried both and prefer the front. I actually tie mine in a loop around the base of the mainsheet block and the toestrap so it can't slip back.Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.com
