I am still working on getting my mainsheet to operate correctly. One of the pesky problems is the shackle connecting the block to the traveler will get a twist during a tack in light air. I tried locking the pivit screws, but still would get a twist.
I found the needed stand-up spring while browsing the sailboat isle in West Marine this past week. I used a West Marine number 114215 (2006 catalog page 868) 2" stand-up spring" Take a look at the results at http://www.sailtravis.us/etc/travelerSpring.html John C27 TR 5956 Austin TX
