Yeah, I have a traveler that a previous owner and poster on this site installed. It works great and I tend to lock the sheet and play the traveler upwind, too. But, I really didn't like the setup of the main sheet, not so much because it used the starboard winch and is not close to the helm on port tack, but because of how it cleated on a horn cleat. I'd put a cam cleat under the winch but the compass was mounted there.
So, I just replaced it all and it sheets on the traveler like most boats.

My boat has a harken replacement traveler and its fantastic. We set the sheeting and play the traveler in gusts to keep the boat at a good heal and works wonderfully.?
