jib boom traveler track design

I would enjoy seeing some pictures and hearing your feedback on the setup on your boat.

Thanks,

The track is curved in a plane perpendicular to the stay. Radius is just a little bit more than the distance between track and stay measured in the bending plane.

This way the sheet is getting a little bit slack during tack.

I have attached "barber haulers" so I can adjust the sheeting angle of the jib and also lock the position of the car.

I installed a kit from Rutgerson but Selden have a new kit that looks better.

Can post pictures if you like.

Thanks,

Not all these pictures where taken at the same time
initially we had the sheet led forward, but now it's going up the mast and down (as it's done on Hanse boats)
We have reinfordced the legs after the first pair got bent out of shape.

Track details


Track fixed to deck,
Barber hauler - with this rig I can haul the sheet out to the toe rail when sailing down wind
and adjust the sheeting angle on the sail while going upwind


Sail with standing batten


A better picture of the sail, not 100% fore triangle - but close
