JimGreat job on the web site... I check it every morning and it has been an invaluable asset. Here are a couple of pics of my mainsheet setup using a 25 series Garhaur boom vang and a couple of eye straps screwed to the boom and a 4' handicap bar mounted across the cockpit. As I usually single hand and don't race, I didn't think the expense and complexity of a traveler were really necessary. One could be easily substituted for the handicap bar if desired. The long bungee cord on the bottom of the boom hooks to lines tied to the ends of the spreaders to make lazy jacks. I hook the free ends of the lines to the spinnaker eyepad on the mast when not in use. It works pretty well but I have to replace the bungee every couple of years.
Keep up the good work.
