Traveler

[jksirius]

Does anyone have/ has anyone had a traveler on their Sirius? I'm thinking it would help get closer to the wind, but the only place one would go is about a foot and a half aft of the companionway. Judging by old bolt holes a previous owner tried it there. However, it seems terribly in the way and would sheet the boom at the halfway point, not ideal.
I've been looking at German mainsheets, might work.

Looks like this Sirus 21 did not have a traveler, just a block at the stern Sirius Sailing on Rice Lake - Bing video

I installed the Barton Removable Mainsheet Traveler on my H25 which, like the Sirius, has a single point contact. It works great and can be removed in a jiffy.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.
