[quote=goodsailing]Aside from increasing purchase of the main sheet what effect does the traveler have. For instance consider the traveler is cleated close to the dead eye and a puff comes I let out the sheet. Won't the boom go out as far as I let it that any place the traveler is cleated doesn't matter... Or should I uncleat the traveler at the same time. Or should I just have lots of slack on the traveler to let it go where it needs to go. Don't want to be dealing with 3 lines while soloing... jib, main, traveler release... upon tipping too far etc. What techniques are used here. Thanks[/quote]
