Different boat, but my C270 had very similar arrangement (4:1, one end on the traveller, the other going to the mast and back to the winch).
I changed it to 3:1/6:1 double line arrangement. It requires a special double cam block on the traveller. Garhauer has one like that available. I think that Harken has a block like this, as well. It works really well. When you use both ends, it works as a 3:1 - great for rough adjustments (it works really well for gybes). When you use a single line, it works as 6:1 giving you a way for fine tuning and the extra purchase in a blow. I highly recommend this solution Marek 1994 C270 Legato Ottawa ON Sent from my Android-based can on a string -------- Original message -------- From: Joe Della Barba via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Date: 2022-07-15 11:13 (GMT-05:00) To: 'Stus-List' <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: j...@dellabarba.com Subject: Stus-List C&C 35 Mainsheet Has anyone changed their 35 to a multi-part tackle and cam cleat that you operate from the traveler back at the helm instead of the stock system that runs a line up to the mast and back to a cabin top winch? Would 4:1 be enough or would 6:1 be better? My preventer is a pretty big 4 part and cam cleat setup, it just about looks like it could do the job.
