Has anybody replaced their traveller? Perhaps with a windward sheeting car or other arrangement to increase the purchase. I've got a unique problem (I think) because previous owner(s) moved the traveller track all the way forward just behind the cabin. This mid boom attachment increases the load considerably on the traveller as well as the mainsheet system. This was done to accomodate a bimini and it creates a huge cockpit area without the shin banging. I could move the track back but it might be tough to pull off since the family is used to it for cruising. I've even considered leaving the forward track on and adding a mid cockpit track that was removeable for cruising. But this creates a few holes that would have to be temporarily plugged in some (probably unsightly) manner. Any thoughts? Lance Symbiosis #51 |
