The main sheet arrangement is dangerous as shown in the picture. Nothing should interfere with the tiller.
This is the problem I agonized the longest over in making the Ecco. I renamed her once completed to cover all my three daughters. I only had two daughters when I started.
Getting the tiller and in and out when it is fixed is a problem when you launch from a beach. Having the sheet in the road would be annoying a lot.
I finally used a heavy gauge wire along the top of the transom and a Hobie Cat sheet block with a running block on the wire.
