I have tried this with marginal results on my boat.[/quote] Currently a H18. But i've sailed C320's, 420's, daysailors, j24's even spent some time aboard the Shamrock an early Americas cup contender. It depends on the boat as to how far I move it.. the whole idea is to set it so you can keep your full and not flat on a light breezy day. If your racing marginal results are good compared to nothing... The truth of the matter is i rarely adjust the traveler unless i am trying to edge out someone. most of the time I am just relaxing and making minimal adjustments.. But growing up this is how using the traveller was taught to me...[/quote]
