I am planning a number of improvements to the sail trim systems on my familys O'Day 28 that will make the sails adjustable under load.
-Improve mid-boom traveler system with a continuously adjustable traveler (rather than stoppers)
-Add a block and tackle system to jib leads for easy adjustment under load
-Add a simply backstay adjuster to the split backstay for quick mast bend inducement
The goal with these improvements is to make the boat easy to sail and trim for optimal performance while cruising and the occasional casual race. We are also adding spinnaker gear and have already purchased the sail and the pole.
Has anyone else made such improvements to their OD 27, 28, 30, or 31?
