Hello all, The traveler on our '94 C&C 37/40+ is really kind of a pain. The original unit has 4 sheeves with a cam cleat on each side (two sheeves on the sliding traveler part, and two mounted in the end caps to the track). Originally when I got the boat, the line then went to a cheek block mounted to the side of the cockpit, and then to a second cam cleat (which seemed to make no sense to me). I removed that block and cam cleat, and at least I can pull and lock line without working it through two cam cleats.
The problem is that when the boat was built, teak decking was put in the cockpit, raising it up to the bottom of the cam cleat and when seat cushions are in place, it makes it difficult to lock the line into the cam cleat. I have tried raising/putting wedges under the cam cleat to get better access above the seat cushions, but that increases friction through the first block. have any of you had similar issues, and what did you do about it? Thanks for your insights, Bruce Whitmore 1994 C&C 37/40+ "Astralis"Madiera Beach, FL (847) 404-5092 (mobile) bwhitm...@sbcglobal.net
