Loads put on mainsheet. 88 hunter 37 legend.

[riversloth]

I'm wondering if anyone knows the loads put on the mainsheet. And if you were to put the sheet at boom end.
Most will probably think this is stupid but I want to put an arch on my 88 hunter 37 legend and mount a traveler on top like the newer boats.
I see many other boats that are trashed but have arches that I think could be modified to work on mine.
I'll take all comments good or bad

Thanks
Lynn

This thread about Hunter 37.5 might be helpful: New Arch for an Older Hunter?

Might check with any number of arch suppliers, like Kato Marine, who may already have provided one on a Hunter 37 or similar. sailboat: Kato Marine

Thank you for the info. I will look into it. I'm sure they wont be cheap. That's why I was looking at other junk boats that had a salvageable arch that could be modified.
Thanks again
