I'm trying to make sure that I have my traveler rigged correctly on my 1982 H 30.
I have a boom with 3 bales with turning blocks and a traveler mounted forward of the hatch. There is also a rotating cam cleat with an eye at the
stern end of the boom. I have a traveler car that moves in the track between two lines with cam cleats at each end of the track. There's also turning block on a spring on the port side of the traveler. I have what I think is a 4/1 block between the boom and the traveler car. I know that the end of the boom line is attached to the top of the block assembly and threads through the block and up to a turning block on each bale (I think). After the line comes off the 3rd turning block & bale where does it go? Do I put is through the spring mounted turning block on the port side of the traveler? How do I tie it off? What about the cam cleat on the end of the boom ? Is this part of the traveler system or possible use for the out haul on the mainsail?
I'm trying to draw a picture but my artistic abilities (as is my typing- if you've seen me on the site before) are pretty limited. Maybe someone of the web has a drawing or a photo of how the set up is correctly rigged.....
Thanks for all your help.
