    Main Sheet Traveller Position question

    The PO of my E35-2 moved the Main sheet traveller from the bridge deck just in front of the pedestal, to the forward end of the cockpit.<O:p</O:p I had originally thought of returning it to its right full place, giving unobstructed access to the cabin. But, as I intend to use the boat for...

    Main sheet bridle conversion

    Hi, Our 1978 E34t's original traveler is located just aft of the companionway - great for sail handling, less than ideal for cruising with kids and dog. Last weekend we noticed an aloha that had a similar setup to ours, where the owners had moved the sheet to the cabin top using a bridle...

    Ericson 25+ Main Sheet Traveller

    There is a molded trough with drainage at cockpit seat level for the track. I suspect a previous owner fitted this entire trough with a piece of mahogony to raise the track so the car would travel unhindered. It was poorly bedded and trapped moisture. Rainwater soaked this wood and leaked...

    Asymmetrical Sheet Attachment

    We just got an asymettrical for our boat, and I'm trying to figure out how best to attach the sheets. On our old boat we simply made a loop in the middle of a single, really long sheet, passed it through the clew, and ran the two ends through it (I saw a reference in a sailnet article that...

    Jib Sheet Line Recommendations

    I know this is like asking people what kind of varnish they like and why but.... I have rather old XLS sheets now. They are 1/2" which I am comfortable with but will probably go down to 7/16. XLS Extra seems pretty reasonable in terms of price and performance but I wondered if you guys had any...
