Thanks for all the comments. As always, they were enlightening. I have the
six foot traveler, a bimini and I am little bit tall.  After completing a tack
and trimming the jib sheets I got tangled in the travel lines, making my way
back to the seat, and very nearly pitched straight over the raised outboard. My
boat has a slight weather helm. I wondered if the boat would stop in irons. I
have not tried it yet. Sometimes I use a tiller tamer lightly applied when
tacking and the boat tends to slowly round up. Using the auto pilot there would
be no chance most times.
