The system David described below is what we have been using for our mainsheet. Our traveller is in the cockpit on the bridgedeck behind the companionway. It is double ended with one end running to the rope clutches and winch on the cabintop. The other end goes to a 6:1 at the traveller. It

Update on my mainsheet rig. I have altered the arrangement to something I think is dramatically better. I found that the 6:1 was not sufficient in higher winds, which we have had alot of lately (not complaining). Not only could I not sheet in tight enough, I could not release it from the load on

The MK III is not in reach of the helm, the traveler is forward of the companionway. My boat – a MK I – has end-boom sheeting and the traveler is right ahead of the wheel. Speaking of which – the 35 MK II and some 40s have the traveler right aft of the companionway. I always wondered how you

My 35-3 has been changed to have the traveler on the bridge deck. Great for racing an cruising, and no injuries to date, but that is a real concern. I remember sailing in Turkey when I was 16; a girl on a boat nearby was killed in exactly that way. Tim Mojito CC 35-3 Branford, CT On Sep 9,

I had a traveller forward of the companionway on my previous 34 and now my newer 34+. On the 34, I added a triple block with becket and cam (Lewmar) on the traveller so I had 6:1 up and down to the boom. It worked much more smoothly than going around all the corners of the stock arrangement. I run
