J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Traveler set-up, again

After 25 years with a 3:1 original dog traveller on 505 I mickey moused it up to a 5:1 and rerouted it so that I can better handle it from behind the traveller. Also followed Bill's advice on endless loop ... that seems to cut a bit a line off the rerope.

Running it to the back rest yields advantage that it gives a couple of additional feet of adjustment for curving the main. The double cheek blocks are from Shaeffer via Defender. other blocks are whatever I had handy.

Routed line in hopes it will keep out of slot.
