Mainsheet traveler, the manual pin adjuster (not used now) is under the right hand block. The left block is called a "single block with becket and universal head", the right "fiddle block with adjustable cleat and universal head". These blocks supposedly take 5/16" rope, I found they worked better with 1/4". Works great!
Some instruments. The sonar and compass flip up on the hinge and are held by the bungy in my hand. A little voltmeter is wired to one of the circuits for battery monitoring. The little black speaker is a radio shack cheapie jacked into the VHF radio (out of the picture to the right under the stove). It really helps hearing the radio. The traveler ropes can be seen just outside.
Looking up in quarter berth. The jib cam cleat backing washers and nuts are lower left, Genoa track across the top (backing plate on the last two bolts as my track goes past the winch, great for downwind). Winch backing plate in the center as I raised my winch up an inch or two.
Main sheet traveler pad eye backing washers, taken in quarter berth. I used regular and "fender" washers, then cut off excess bolt (3/16" SS) with a dremel tool.
