Gotta see that pictur Doug. --Larry #189 -----Original Message----- From: Doug Kelch [mailto:doug_kelch@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, July 02, 2004 7:24 AM To: Montgomery Subject: M_Boats: Neat Traveler arrangement I was watching the Penguin racing fleet come in the last night an notice a very clever arrangement for a small boat traveler that may be cheap and effective for an M15. I may mock one up and take a picture if the description doesn't work . Essentially it is a continuous loop of line with symmetricallylly located fixed attachmentent points, one for a mainsheet block (single block only) and one for a control line. The block attachment point will be over the tiller and the attachment point for the control line will be under the tiller. Place a flush mounted block on the forward face of the transom at the two corners inside of where the current traveler line currently goes through the transom corners. The traveler line (will become the continuous loop) runs through the the first block, over the tiller, through the second block, under the tiller and ties off to bitter end. The knot under the tiller can form the attachment point for the control line. Form the attachment point for the mainsheet block directly over the tiller while the attachment point for the control line is directly under the tiller. Attach the control line (and fairleads) and lead it to convenient cleating point. To move the traveler out, ease off the control line, and to move the traveler in you pull the control line in. This is definitely worth a try! Thanks Doug Kelch "Seas the Day" M15 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
