Mike Bennett All Messages By This Member #98 I use a bridle on my Wanderer.? I did not remove the traveler though, just tied it to one side.? I ran the bridle through the sheaves at each end of the traveller and into the original traveller adjusting cleats. It makes centering the main possible in light winds without adding leach tension.? Much simpler than moving the traveller upwind.

I've managed to sort out a bracket for the mainsheet jammer and found a boom slide to attach the centre boom block. I'm now wondering if I should use a rope bridle across the top of the transom, and remove the traveller altogether? I could use 2 attachments at the ends and a length of dyneema (knotted in the midle), and adjust it so the mainsheet is almost block-to-block when sheeted in. I'm thinking this may help me to keep a good sheeting angle, relying on the kicker instead for mainsail leech tension? The added advantage is that the traveller car really needs replacing and I'm not keen to spend on it if I don't need to... As usual, any suggestions very much appreciated. Jonathan Daniel
