I just replaced the pin stop traveler this year. Replaced with a
Garhauer adjustable traveler and a 3:1/6:1 Mainsheeting system.
Thinking about rigid vang as well.

I still occasionally sail on a C&C 35 Mk.1 that still has the roller
furling main and the screw type outhaul. It still has the pin stop
traveler too. The owner has has had her since 1980 or so.
He is always trying to convince us "this is the pinnacle of sailboat
technology, why change anything?"
It works for him.

Touche' still has the original roller boom. It can't roll anymore
because of the rigid boom vang.
I've replaced the old screw type outhaul with a car and 4:1 purchase.

So, Corsair is out for the season and I brought home the
Spinnaker Pole and the Boom to clean up for the winter and it
got me wondering how many still have the original roller
reefing boom? I have used the roller reefing feature once
with the old main (no slab reefing). We now have a North Main
that has two reef points. We don't reef all that often. We
just don't go out that often in 15+ TWS.
Once I got the end fitting off I figured out why the outhaul
was always such a tough adjustment. The outhaul sheave has a
half inch ID and the pin is 5/16. There was no bushing in the
sheave. I think that I'll just order a new sheave from Rig Rite.
I am having the mast stepped this winter so that I can give it
a good look over this winter. I am going to replace all of
the bulbs with LEDs and finally fix my spreader lights (they
came disconnected a few years ago and I just haven't wanted to
go up the mast that bad to reconnect them.
We are doing all of this work because we are finally leaving
South Haven and taking the boat north to White Lake
(Michigan). It is a difficult decision. We have been in
South Haven (short one year that we didn't even go in the
water and one year in Saugatuck/Douglas due to low water
levels in South Haven) since we came up to Michigan with our
South Coast 23 in 1992. We find that there is no social life
for the old sailors in South Haven. We are hoping to find a
little more activity in Whitehall and we will join White Lake
Yacht Club to help. The up side to moving up the lake is that
the cost is less (we can pay for the slip and the WLYC dues
for less than slip in SH) and we can sail White Lake when the
big lake is not hospitable. We already know more people on
White Lake than we do in South Haven.
We are also replacing the 45 year old cushions since we will
be spending more weekends on the boat. Whitehall is a 2 hour
drive, South Haven was a twenty minute drive.
This is a pretty big move for us but we are excited to maybe
get more usage out of the boat. Wish us luck.
