Another issue I ran into today as I was sailing is that the factory furling line is too short to run it to the back seat of the TI. Any of you gentlemen swap out the furling line to another line that is longer? Also, the stock placement of the cleat for the furling line in the front is unnecessary and needs to be swapped for a block; afterwards, use the stock cleat and mount it next to the main sheet cleat in the rear (sailing from the rear seat only). As this is my second time on the water, I am learning as I go. So thank you for your patience and please don't flame me to hard.
So, here is where that extra length on the main sheet comes in handy. I sail from the back with a 3:1 rig. I put a figure eight knot on the end of both the main sheet and the Furling line and the tie them together using a sheep bend knot. That gives me ready access to the furling line and only one rope to handle. Simples.
