Why in the world would anybody use double sheets on a boat that is 
designed to do end to end jibes? 

Talk about cluttering up the deck space, adding confusion in the 
cockpit and making life hard on the foredeck person for no good 
reason at all. In addition to that in light air the added weight on 
the clew would be a killer trim problem.
