I am overhauling #3335, planning an all new deck setup, looking for input on Quantum's comments below, was planning on using the Harken system they mention below: <<We like a custom weather sheeting traveler system with separate cleats for two reasons: First, when tacking in light air it allows you to be able to roll the boat and pull the traveler to weather at the same time. This is not possible with the Harken weather sheeting car because the car relies on being unloaded to move across the cockpit. The helmsman cannot roll-tack the boat. Second, when racing in a breeze it is nice to be able to adjust the traveler without having to reach over your legs. Having the cleat forward allows adjustment of the traveler with the front hand. http://www.quantumsails.com/products/onedesign/c_tuningguides.asp?CID=17>> 1982 #3335
