Schooner mainsail sheet rigging

[Michelnou]

The drawing of my Mantua schooner (about 80 feet) kit includes a diagram relating to mainsail sheet rigging.

I wish to have your opinion about this design and some clarifications about blocks to select.

 

I thank you for the advices

I practice sailing  since a long time and I presume that the presence of two opposite sheets tied on the boom is not practical to use. When one of them lengthens, the other shortens. I think that mechanical system works better with simple kinematic.

 

This is the reason why I share my doubts with you.

I wouldn't rig it this way!  Single sheet, attached (with a tackle to a "horse") somewhere near the stern.  There are many examples of model plans and even museum models obviously made by someone who's never sailed or read much about it.
