Hi-
I'm in the process of slowly and modestly improving a 1980 C-30 tall rig which is currently in the water.
The current traveler arrangement is factory original which makes getting the boom upwind much more laborious. I would like to rig the original traveler with updated controls improving my ability to trim. It does not have to be beautiful state of the art, I am aware Catalina offers a brand new drop in replacement.
I included an image of a boat I noticed in my mooring field which accomplished this upgrade and I was wondering if anyone could comment on what hardware to purchase or if they have done this already. Any specs, a parts list or recommendations would be very helpful.
Also included is a stock image from Catalina Direct (just to refresh your memory of how my traveler is currently configured.
Thanks!
