Replying to:Reverting to traveller
I'm sure there will be howls of "Don't do it", but I am converting from end boom to traveller sheeting. The hassles of rope at the end of the boat ALWAYS getting in the way are just too much to bear. SO... Those folk who use a traveller, can you please let me know if you cleat the main & sail off the traveller or visa versa. I've come from a Tasar, where you cleat the main (Upwind at least) & simply play the traveller. If you do cleat the main, do you have cleats on the side deck or on the gunwale? ... Yeah, I know... Head down to my local club & have a look. Well I'm interested in interstate opinions also! Pics appreciated. Tim
