Bones may have meant a windward sheeting traveller. Harken makes this. Has been one of the best additions to Makin' Time I have made. I have been much more likely to make traveller adjustments with it as a habit, vs the OEM pin stop traveller. Requires new track as well as a new car, and a couple of standing blocks (optional)and strap eyes on the sides of the cockpit well. The new track did not have the same hole spacing as the old unfortunately. So a bit of time potting the old holes and oversize drilling, potting and redrilling the new holes. Was so worth it for me. Oh yeah, crawling under the cockpit and hack sawing off the projecting bolt ends. We stored a fair bit of stuff there and it was surprising how much difference a 1/2" extra bolt length meant in not catching on stuff. Cut them off while on a 25nm passage across Lake Ontario. Put the tiller pilot on, Julie kept watch and I went below. The leeward pressure of the main sheet connected to the traveller car opens the leeward cam cleat, allowing you to pull to windward to get the car above center, without having to uncleat the leeward car. That same leeward pressure allows the windward cam cleat to close. A very one handed operation. We use the traveller adjustment much more than the main sheet when tacking to windward.

What is a "self sheeting traveler"?

Hey Josh,
Sean Mulligan had the only M23 I have seen with a dodger. He sold Dauntless to some other M boat folks. I have jib cars on my M23, I think most folks just clip blocks onto the toe rail.
If you are anxious to spend money on hardware, I would recommend a self sheeting traveler. I love mine.
