the centre main just gives you an all round better feeling of control of a topper, and thus much much more confidence, and no body has ever converted back to rear sheeted, you should definetly go for it

TheSeaFalcon, I sailed a proper new topper with centre main the other week, I'm 12.5 stone and it was about F3 and it really flew for a a topper! I club race a laser full rig, they're such awful boats, the rig bends which in my view ins't good, all that power going to waste! I normall sail cherubs, N12 and merlins. Much better boats! But toppers are brilliant fun, you can drive them into other toppers and they don't break! Wa hoo!

if you are pretty small you might want to consider the new 6:1 downhaul, you dont need to buy a whole new system either, its just the old world style 1 with an extra clock at the top providing a cascade effect so the mod. will cost bout £8 to do really less if you dont want top spec kit

i second that motion, you can be told all sorts of things but the best way to learn them is to sail and discover how they work your self |

!!) 
!! Not saying you're inexperienced!!! I agree with everyone so there's no point in me putting quotes, cos as they say "practise makes perfect" (yawwwn hehehe)!!! 
), I've got the racing downhaul and the mainsheet block (is that a rachet?) and i can't wait to get out in proper wind to use them...mind you I could come back very, very wet!! haha!
