[C38] Traveler location (alden)

Thu Sep 17 21:01:16 EDT 2009

I think my traveler is in the stock location (pictures attached) I sail
in 15-40kts of wind and usually by myself and never have a problem
sheeting in the main with one wrap around the winch from the back of the
boat while I am driving. Now said that here is a list of equipment I
use.
1. traveler Strait Garhour
2. blocks- harken air 
3. winch - Anderson

Thanks for the photo Tom! Much appreciated!

I'm out to the boat today to mock up some end boom sheeting and see
where
everything hits. When I do lines while my wife is at the helm I end up
standing halfway in the companionway to manage the traveler and
mainsheet,
and I don't especially like that. I'm sure end boom sheeting will have
annoyances of it's own.

Actually the leverage thing is a bit of a problem.  With mid-boom
sheeting I
find I have to stand up on the cockpit seat and grab the end of the boom
and
pull it amidships while pulling the mainsheet to get a quick trim when
going
to windward.

Just a follow up that Tom asked me for.  Went for a sail last Saturday.
Motored out to Point Loma at 2500 rpm which took about 40 minutes.
Temperature stayed between 165-175.  With the old exchanger it would
have
been close to 200.  One suggestion I have when swapping out the
exchanger to
make it easier:  Attach all the NEW hoses to the heat exchanger before
you
install it.  Leave at least an extra foot on each hose just to make sure
they will reach as the new exchanger is longer and the distances will
not be
the same as with the old exchanger.  That way you can do 4 attachments
while
sitting in the cockpit sipping a beer and then have only two fittings
and
clampings to accomplish squeezed in the lazarette and two on the forward
end
of the engine.  Including three trips to San Diego Marine Exchange for
hoses
I spent a total of 5 hours on the project.

I just want to make sure I'm understanding you. Your traveler is forward
of the hatch opening, correct?  That would solve my dodger problem, but
I'm concerned about the loss of leverage having the sheet so far forward
on the boom, or the leverage the sail/boom would have on the anchor
points. You've had no problems?

Thanks!
