Tyler, There are at least two very simple 'No or Lo' hardware versions of travelers I have used on previous M-15 and my current M-17. Both versions are VERY simple and do not intrude into the cockpit at ALL - the one in use on my current boat (17) does NOT pull the boom to weather . It is my opinion the boat's keels are not efficient enough to benefit from the 'weather setting in light air'. Keel will stall at very low flow and high angles of attack (sounds violent heh?) BTW - I plan on sailing my 17 til ......... love the little thing! Little or No hardware and VERY low expense compared to some alternatives. My last boat (S2 6.7) had a Harken windward sheeting car on a full width track with continuous line control - Way overkill for our small boats - and the prices are nutz! ! There are very easy ways to achieve the desired effect with little or no hardware and great savings. Line and splices/knots are our friend! PM me if you would like a line drawing of either version. Have Fun Go Sailing - local season starts any day ! ! ! GO M-17t sail #354 'Hokey Pokey' "As I hurtled through space, one thought kept crossing my mind - every part of this rocket was supplied by the lowest bidder." - John Glenn In a message dated 10/4/2014 9:55:33 A.M.

It seems like this could still get most of the adjustability without taking up room in the cockpit? I think an M15 could especially benefit from a traveler, because it would enable higher headstay tension without requiring the main to be sheeted to the center. It might make sense to mostly adjust the traveler instead of the mainsheet when changing course? Tyler Davis, CA M15 #157 "Defiant"
