OK, rather than fiddle with the fiddle block (sorry), I've decided to put a
cam cleat on the aft edge of the cabin top, starboard side, near the winch.
That way, I don't have to change the routing of the main sheet, which currently
runs from the mid-boom traveler to a block at the mast foot, over to a turning
block, and back to the winch. A decisive factor for me was the cost of a new
fiddle block with cam cleat attached (about $175 at WM). A cleat and bullseye
cost me about $45. It should work fine. (fingers crossed.)

The fiddle block is there but no cam cleat. Is the cam cleat added
directly to the existing fiddle block or is it a independent part that attaches
between the traveler and the existing fiddle block?
