[quote=tarch][quote=shortyfox]Using the mainsheet for the traveler works well and seems to be preferred. I take it you were using the three strand nylon just to get a measurement. You might consider using a six foot piece of line of smaller diameter tied to the end of your mainsheet and have that part go through the swivel cam cleat, the traveler car and tied off to the pad eye on the rear beam. The reason I say this is the smaller diameter will work much smoother but you'll still have the larger diameter on the mainsheet to help your grip. Another reason is where the two lines are tied together, it will act as a stop knot and prevent the traveler car from shearing off the stops that are on each end of the traveler.[/quote]
Thanks Bill. I will try the second method and see. It is 3 strand nylon.[/quote]
