Right now I have a end boom traveler... but I have on order a midboom/cabin top traveler. It will be configured as a double ended system so can adjust the main sheets from either side It will have 3 bails on the boom with the fore most bail will have 2 blocks each leading to separate sides. I think this makes it a 6:1 purchase. I am hoping it will be enough advantage to tend the sheets without a winch.

I have a mid-boom traveler and as currently configured (no > clutch) I use a self-tailing winch to starboard to hold the sheet. > It's not real convenient and I'd like to find a better way.
