Hi all, rigging my boat for the first time. Anyone have a pic of their oday 25 traveler connection that can help?

1978. Car track in front of companionway.

Thx

Looks pretty basic old school. Shackle the mainsheet to the slider on the track.


New school would replace slider with a car with control lines for easier movement.

Here is a photo showing the mainsheet attachment to the deck mounted traveler on my 25. My traveler car has screw in pin stops. Really a PIA so rarely did I move the traveler. I ended up with a Harken setup. Much nicer if your going to regularly use the traveler.

The bottom bearing on the Nicro Fico (IIRC) travelers can get warn to the place where they tilt as you try and pull them across. This tilting gets so bad that the car digs into the top of the track, making it impossible to adjust. I just replaced mine (on 83 C36) with a new Garhauer traveler.
