Graham:
I changed the original main sheet setup on my boat to be able to trim
the main from behind the binnacle. I don't have a picture but am going
to the boat this pm and will take some.
The original setup required the the main sheet to be cleated on the port
side cabin top.....not convenient for the helmsman to trim. I tossed
the original setup and constructed a new one whereby the main sheet can
be brought back to the helmsman and trimmed with little effort on the
cabin top traveler. There is no need to move the traveler.
I left the traveler lines the same......they can be brought back to the
helmsman.....no need to change them but if there is a better way, I am
interested.

Hello everyone,
I want to set up my 32 to be able to single-hand. 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?
Thanks,
