For the 27 I agree with the aft traveler since most times you are out with less then capable crew, I found it best to have the main close at hand just incase sailing on SF bay you get a lot of just incase and with inexperienced crew you get even more. but once again this is all personal preference I would suggest if at all possible go out on one with the coach roof traveler and see if this fits your needs. On my boat I did though change the blocks to Garhauer with an higher purchase this greatly improved performance and general sail-ability. M McVey

What's with the guy hanging over the open transom?BTW, I love my rear traveler. Wouldn't change it: I like having my mainsheet handy right at the tiller without having it run through a bunch of blocks which all add friction.Fair Winds,Jim Calleran, C27 #2784, Trad, OBMathews Yacht Club, VA37°27.8'N/76°18.6'W --- On Fri, 9/5/08, tim ford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: tfsee attached image _________________________________________________________________ Want to do more with Windows Live?
