More power means less travel per foot of line pulled, ultimately resulting the need foe more line. Are you wanting less effort on the traveler or the mainsheet? You can ease traveler movements by easing the mainsheet first. If getting sufficient mainsheet tension is the issue then consider a compound block arrangement. There are a couple different options but one way or another you can achieve the effect of a course adjustment and a fine adjustment.
Here are some pictures of mine. I made it myself as Garhauer doesn't make one purpose built. The course adjustment is 3:1 and on the cabin top. The fine adjustment is 12:1 and readily available in the cockpit. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8pEh5lnvP1yY3Qtbi1VSllwM3M Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Fri, Dec 1, 2017, 8:45 AM steve dewar via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Presently, my mainsheet is a double block on cabin traveller, thru two > blocks to the mast, down to another block, thru a stopper and finally to a > self tailer winch.
