[quote=Wolfman]Ah, a barberhauler is a line that attaches to your jib sheet (above the blocks) to move the jib clew towards the outward hull. It is used to make the gap between the jib and main larger for better airflow, usually when sailing downwind. Non-racing cats will often not have them and just set the blocks in an average position. On a hobie 16 the same thing is accomplished by putting the jib sheet cleat on a traveller car on the front beam.
Erice's traveler wires just run under the tramp except for about 1 foot. There are 2 slots in his tramp that allow the wire to come up above the tramp and attach to the blocks. My photo here: http://www.thebeachcats.com/index.php?module=pictures&g2_itemId=74166 shows someting similar except I used grommets and white sail patch to reinforce my tramp. The barberhauler is the yellow and red line and my jib wires are dyneema line with a plastic wire cover covering the part where the jib block runs.
