Attached is a photo of the integrated block and cam cleat fitting on the end of my traveler. You also can see center car to which the mainsheet is attached. I have a '76 C27 (#2784) and believe this to be OEM, but can't swear to it. In any case, this is my set-up.
I tend to sit fairly far aft in my cockpit: I work the main in the puffs, and
have never found it a big deal to reach across to release the traveler
line(s). I'm not a racer; truth it, I mostly keep the traveler just a little
off-center to keep the mainsheet fiddle block away from the traveler car.

uses cam cleats. What kind of cleats do you use? And just
where are they located? Steve, where do you locate cam cleats? Have either of
you added additional blocking to the riser under the track?
