I've raced on several 9.1 meters other than my own. Two were equipped with windward sheeting cars where the traveller line exited from the car (instead of the cockpit coaming). This was a HUGE pain in the neck as the angle of release required my hands to be down in the cockpit versus up where I typically was positioned. Our experience is that a well maintained and properly lubricated standard-issue traveller car is more than sufficient for racing or cruising. No measurable advantage was gained by using a windward sheeting car. |
