where is the boat? I'd love to stop onboard and show you the options. I love the ebbtide 33, the english style interior seems like it would be really comfortable offshore, and the mostly flush deck rocks.

Twin mainsheets are 'cool' but not very easy to sail with in practice, having sailed on a few boats with this set up, i found it to be cumbersome when tacking.

The two that sprig to mind for that boat are to use a sindgle with becket on one quarter and a single on the toher quarter with a double block ont he boom (or fiddle better?) to give a 4:1 end boom. You will want a really strong boom vang for that set up.

Another is to moutn a traveler further forward (cabintop or bridgedeck) and a more powerful mainsheet....
