[quote=rattlenhum][quote=a1cnc]Hi Marty,
I have seen a video on this somewhere. what they did was tie some shockcord from the traveler to the blocs on each side to keep the block upright.
I think it was this video

Thanks for posting that! I had seen this mod/fix with the small diameter shockcord before (~2:30 in the vid), but I couldn't recall exactly how it was rigged, so I had not replied. This can indeed be an issue on the H16 when the mainsheet is loose and the boom is flopping around....parking, broad reaching in light air/lumpy water, etc. It's made worse when the lower block is pinned directly to the traveler rather than using a shackle between the two (which is desirable to increase mast rake). I'm gonna try it myself![/quote]
