I'm 6'2" 240 pounds. I have no trouble vang sheeting the main in 20+ knots. What I do have trouble with is getting around the marks. I've always liked to use the main in conjunction with the rudder to get the boat around the marks, but with the straight 6:1 purchase on my mainsheet there's just too much sheet. I am going to try a set-up that has both 2:1 and 10:1 and see if things improve. I had straight 3:1 on my J24 and could just spin her around marks!
We do a lot of short course stuff so mark roundings can be critical. We had one race last year W/L twice around that took us all of 19 minutes to complete the course!
