Adding Traveler Controls
The boat had no traveler controls when I purchased it. It only had some pin stops for the car. This was so clumsy I almost never moved the car from the center position. The track is an old Ronstan type, so I was able to buy compatible parts for it, so this is what I came up with. Not as elegant as I would like, but it works well and now I can actually trim the main.
I used two pad eyes to keep the line from going adrift.
Double Block on Car
Control End
Turning Block
User's View - The control line is continuous, so I avoided having two more snakes in the cockpit.
