Neil,
Take a look at picture titled View Without Dodger in projects 2011 Thumbnails and Starboard and Port Winches and Jam Cleats and click on the photos a couple of times to expand them. Cleat is Harken X-Treme Angle Fairlead #459 mounted on a #295 Riser. Although I can handle tacking from the helm Single handed I do either lock the helm or use Autopilot to go to the companionway to make final trims on the main using Solid Vang and mainsheet if necessary. This year I have added a wireless remote auto helm control to facilitate pulling in the main sheet for controlled jibing.

I might need some visuals to understand the set-ups that you use. And please forgive my ignorance as I am a relatively new sailor. Neil, you said that you use a single line for the traveler with a loop. John, you said that you use two ends of the same line back to the helm. Mine has the main sheet with a block and tackle attached to the boom. Then there are lines at each end of the traveler that use cam cleats that must be loosened to allow the traveler to move laterally. How do I manage all three lines from the binnacle? John, thanks for the info on your website. That is quite an impressive array of projects that you have completed through the years. I'm not sure what year you were referring to for the cam cleats with the extended loop.

It lets me loop it over the binnacle which works great for us. A neighbor told us about the approach and I figured I could always cut the line to make 2 lines if needed Neil FoxFire 1982 C&C 32 Wort on Creek, MD Get Outlook for iOS <https://aka.ms/o0ukef> On Sat, Jul 2, 2016 at 9:35 PM -0400, "John Russo via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: I agree with Neil, I however use two ends of the same line back to the helm. I have Harken long throw jam cleats on the cabin top that allows me to snap the line loose like flicking a whip or jam it by pulling down. See arpeggio1984.info web site, under projects. I can look up the jam cleats if you are interested but they look like a regular cleat with an extended higher capture loop..

It's a great place. We used a single line for the traveler such that the loop came all the way back to the binnacle. Kind of like reins for s horse. Works great.

Currently, the traveler is on the coach roof and my wingspan is not large enough to reach the helm and the mainsheet at the same time I'm wondering if any other 32 owners have set their boats up to single-hand and what solutions you've come up with. The most obvious solution seems to be to move the traveler directly in front of the binnacle a la the 30, but the t-shaped cockpit seems to pose a challenge for that location. My current Harken traveler is 4 feet long. I measured the space between the cockpit settes below the seat lids at under 3 feet. Any ideas?
