Peter Suah, in a response to Hunter 23 traveler relocation brought up an interesting question. Just what was "standard" equipment on a 23? Mine came with mid-cockpit traveler, 2 cheesey jib sheet blocks and three winches. All else was added by myself or previous owners.

Mine came with...

...pretty much the same setup-- A traveller that spans the cockpit right at the companionway, two small blocks on the side decks for the jib sheets, two winches for the jib sheets, and a winch mounted to the starboard side of the mast for the halyards. A previous owner added pad-eyes and a cam-cleat to lead the main halyard back to the cockpit, as well as a small block & tackle rig with S-hooks for a boom vang. I re-routed the jib halyard to exit from the base of the mast, and added pad-eyes and a cam cleat to lead the jib halyard to the cockpit, though I left the winch on the mast to aid in raising and lowering the mast. One of these years when I have $$ to burn, I'll buy deck organizers, a winch, and rope clutches... I don't currently use winches to raise my sails- and if I really need to tighten a halyard while underway, I can use a jibsheet winch (though this is a little hard on the cam cleats). I can take pictures, if anyone's interested... I'm doing a bit of work on the boat this weekend- I can always take the digital cam with me. --Jon Bastien H23 '2 Sheets to the Wind'

My and other additions

Starting from stern- 1 Adjustable backstay - This thing really works to ballance the helm. If you're looking for a little extra speed, and you don't have one, this thing might be your solution. 2. spinaker blocks 3. aft mooring kleats. 4. tiller extension 5. mainsheet ratchet fiddle blocks 6. boom vang with mast bail 7. 2.5 inch jib blocks 8. mainsail cunningham 9. Spinaker pole. 9. forward mooring cleats 10. jib cunningham. Then thro in 85 and 150 jibs + spanker + spinaker
