Ian: I would very much like to see your set up, as well. Not at all pleased with the present traveler system on my 29-2.

I replaced the original traveller track with a harken track and car (making sure I bought the compatible both hole pitch rather than the new one - I bought it from Mauri Pro and it fitted the old holes perfectly) I have a double sheet system with a trim setup - you'll see in the photos. This allows me to flatten the main really hard - very important in sailing San Francisco Bay.

Can others provide me with types of blocks they use or recommendations? I viewed the Harken site, with recommendation a 6:1 triple block system (hexratchet at the base). A local sailmaker stated these fail quite often and have a lot of friction due to the twist. He recommended a 5:1 system. Can others provide suggested setups? Look forward to guidance.
