I was looking some of the newer mini's from Europe that have the mid sheeting with the pilot sitting way back behind the axle. My thoughts were that the further aft seating would possible increase righting moment (leverage on the axle) and make the steering a bit challenging due to the lack of weight on the front end like a Promo or 5 sq. I'm assuming that with the pilot back further the sail can be lowered closer to the ground also helping righting moment and aerodynamics due to a lower seated position. . I was wondering what others thoughts were of that type of configuration as opposed to a rear sheeting mini that places the pilot much closer to the axle?
