[C38] mainsheet traveler.

[Joseph Launie]

Paul,
    We were able to get the blocks off much easier than we feared. They 
were just held on by 3 -  8 inch long 1/4 inch bolts each. We used  the 
direct approach of unbolting the nuts below decks and banging on he 
bottom of the bolts with a hammer. We found that the blocks were only on 
the  deck with bedding compound. Joe
