Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

Josh The channel and ports are still there. But instead of the traveler, there is a piece of teak laid in. I see no evidence that there was ever a track there. Tom Buscaglia S/V Alera 1990 C 37+/40 Vashon WA P 206.463.9200 C 305.409.3660 > On May 14, 2020, at 4:41 AM,

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

I sail a lot around here without the main. Life is much easier and the boat goes almost as fast and points high enough for our purposes. With main up the coach mounted traveler is out of the way and works fine as either a race crew is dedicated to the main or single/double handed racing or

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

What size Genoa is that John? We have separate tracks on our coachroof for the #3 sail, but looking at your setup it makes me wonder if I should sheet from the Genoa track... On Thu, May 14, 2020, 5:40 AM John Conklin via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: >Here is my set up last

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

I do a lot of single handing on my 37 and my main sheet is up on the coach roof. I trim it proper and don’t touch during tack (well maybe a little tweaking after) I have to get in front of the wheel for the genny sheets but its worth the effort during Covid. Full length Lazzarette locker means

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

I moved my traveler to the bridge deck as there didn’t seem to be a good way to move it further aft. The main trims much better now than it did when the traveller was on the coach top. Mike Brannon Virginia Lee 93295 1978 C 36 CB Virginia Beach, VA > On May 13, 2020, at 10:23 PM,

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

Tom, do you know if your boat was built that way or if it was modified? The 37/40s that I've seen, including mine, have a channel and ports cast into the fiberglass right at the aft edge of the athwartship cockpit bench. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Thu, May 14, 2020,

Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

Our 37+/40 has the traveler in front of the wheel instead of blocking the entrance to the cabin at the front of the cockpit. It is a short Lewmar rail between the front of the seats. It is not much of a swing, only about 30" or so wide. But, it works great for us. This is the best

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

On my ol' C 35 mk2 with a shorten boom my traveler is still mounted on the thwart seat just aft of the companionway.  It carries a  4:1 gross-trim for most trimming (cruising) and the 16:1 fine-tuning (racing) with control done by two fiddle blocks with cam cleats (fine & gross) mounted to the

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

If purchase is the issue, I found that the 3:1/6:1 main sheet arrangement works quite well. Originally, it was 4:1 and it was marginal in stronger winds when close hauled. Garhauer made the main fiddle block (double/double with Becket and two cam cleats). Marek Original message

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

A friend has two travellers on his 32 footer, though it's not a C The coachroof traveller is used for cruising and the one across the front of the cockpit seats is used for racing. His mainsheet purchase had two sets of bails and we would move the purchase at the dock. He still can't

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

Moving the traveller into the cockpit has engineering and leverage advantages. The compromise is that it is much more inconvenient to the cockpit occupants. Moving the attachment point aft on the boom gives better leverage so less tension is needed to position the boom. It is also less likely

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

I was going to say I like the cabin top arrangement for cruising (not so much for racing) because the traveler and sheet are out of the cockpit, where everyone likes to sit. My 42 Custom has the same arrangement as the 34 (the boat is basically a big version of the 34 or 36, with the keel

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

I guess it depends on the wife. I had a traveller right across the cockpit on our previous boat. It was great for adjusting the sails, but it was also great to hit my wife on the shins. The current boat has a traveller on the cabin top, and it was a “must have” requirement for this boat. It is

Re: Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

I run a single line from one side of the cabin top traveler back to the binnacle and back to the other side. It is like a horse drawn cart approach, but allows me to easily adjust the traveler from the helm. Neil 1982 C 32, FoxFire Rock Hall, MD Neil Andersen 20691 Jamieson Rd Rock Hall, MD

Stus-List Moving Main Sheet Traveler on a C-34

Hello Has any one moved the mainsheet traveler from the cabin top to just in front the wheel? When sailing wife the wife I find adjustments to the main difficult at times. Have tried playing with the traveler but the sheet tension is the problems. Any thoughts David MUDPUDDLE ( Whitby)
