After modifying my existing travel system about five times I really have a sweet setup that did not cost anyways near the three or four hundred dollars that a new windward sheeting system costs.It uses a single 1/4 " line that has very little slack in it and cannot get fouled in the track. I had to modify my existing car with two additional sheaves stacked above the existing ones. This is how it is rigged: The line is dead ended near the right rear corner of the traveler car with a eye splice and a small shackle, it goes over to the deck at the right end of the track and around the the lower sheave of a double cheek block. (The line goes counterclockwise around the double sheaves on the right side and clockwise around the double sheaves on the left side of the boat), the line goes back to the car and around the lower sheave mounted on the right side of the car. The line goes back around the upper sheave of the cheek block, back to an upper sheave on the right side of the the traveler car, back to a single cheek block mounted just aft of the double cheek block then through a camcleat mounted near the right edge of the seat combing near the footwell. The line continues across the footwell to another camcleat on the left edge of the seat combing. The left side is a rigged as a mirror image of the right side. To release the traveler car all you have to do is pull up on the line that crosses over the footwell. You can basically operte the traveler from any position. when the travlerer moves one way or the other the length of the line remains the same as the line gets shorter on one side , it lengthens the same amount on the other side, so there is never any slack in the line to get fouled in the track.
