"19" Bridle/Traveler

[Gary Bassitt]

Looking for creative practical and successful suggestions for traveler arrangement for my "19" which has slightly curved transom, complicating straight-line traveler installation. Also, cost for traveler is a bit pricey, so I thought about bridle arrangements. (Hey, Im tight!) Anybody have a good bridle system that pleases? Ideas? What does Rhodes use to extend the mainsheet?

Dual mainsheets

Gary -I would set up two mainsheets, one from each corner of the boat to the end of the boom. Then you could use relative tension to control boom position. Much less expensive than a travler. If you were to put an extra pad eye mid transom you could switch to one sheet when you were more interested in convenience than performance.Justin - O'day Owners' Web
