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 work

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

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 r

On my old C&C 24 I had the traveller aft of the companion way (almost a foot aft). It was great for handling the main (I also had a good Harken traveller car there), but it was a major pain for anyone going inside. My admiral hated it. To the point that the hard requirement for the new(er) boat

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 ri
