Ahoy Jim, and congratulations on your new boat. I prefer end-of-boom sheeting, because it can provide more precise control of the mainsail and faster easing and trimming. On my Day Sailer I can use a 2:1 or 1:1 mainsheet arrangement. By the way, if you have a powerful vang you may want to consider eliminating the adjustable traveler. Mike Gillum (North American Champion), on this forum, has a number of posts extolling the virtues of this arrangement.
