Yep, this is the way I set my traveler up. The setup is simple enough. Just
connect each end of the line to the appropriate end of the car. If your
traveler has a 4:1 purchase, you'll need line 4 times the length of the
width of the traveler, plus a few extra feet for slack. I can release and
set either side from either side of the cockpit. Beats spewing all kinds of
line every time the traveler is adjusted up or down.
Good luck,

I have what I believe must be the original traveler on my boat with jam
cleats on each side of the cockpit for the lines. While singlehanding, it
is awkward to have to reach across the cockpit to release or tighten the
opposite line from where I am sitting. My question: Has anyone set up the
traveler with a continuous line so that releasing and snubbing occurs with
the same line, making it a continuous loop? Is there a setup for this? If
any of you use such a system, how do you like it?

John -
I totally agree that the tiller does give the helm a better
feel, but with
the wheel the cockpit is really opened up.
