Changing to a German Mainsheet system

Learning as I go I am trying my luck at re-configuring my mainsheet setup. This means making several holes in the deck for various new fittings, while trying to figure out what i'm suppose to be doing. • Summer Breeze is a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 29.2 and her original mainsheet was connected to an eye at the end of the boom to a deck eye just in front of the helm. This has always been a pain because it's right in the middle of the cockpit in everybody's way. • Moving to the German Mainsheet system gets the connection point out of the cockpit and instead on to a traveller on the coachroof, it's then connected with various blocks to the mast, then led back to the cockpit, not very far from where it was before but very much out of the way! • I'm using a Lewmar NTR pinstop track size 1, together with a Lewmar NTR car size 1. I'm using plain bearing blocks from Wichard together with a Spinlock deck organiser, Spinlock Mini Jammers and a Spinlock PXR Cam Cleat. This worked well to begin with but ultimately I changed the track to high beam after some experimentation, there's a follow up video here: • Sailing with a new Mainsheet setup
