Happy New Year All,
I am in the middle of a refit to get rid of all (yeah, right!) those pesky deck leaks. As part of this effort, I am going to undo a PO mod. PO moved the traveller from cockpit to deck. For convenience, it is great; for sail control, it is too much of a compromise: inadequate force on the boom.
I am looking for help and parts. 1) Pictures of original main traveller setup, especially how main sheet blocks were setup. 2) If anyone has abandoned their cockpit traveller, do you have the parts for sale? I have the traveller track, and car, but looking for control ends, and maybe another car. My year had just the manually set rubber car stops, no control. I am looking to upgrade to car controls at end of track. I've been to the Rigrite site, and know what they have available, but seeing if any used hardware for sale.
My boat (1980 HIN 143) has original Nicro-Ficro X Track model NF-610.
Will also have a spare main traveller setup for deck mounted traveller if anyone is interested. Lewmar brand. It is in good shape and will include mounting blocks. If any interest, I will get dimensions when at boat this weekend.
Thanks,
Jim
