Neil and John,
Thanks to both of you for your responses.
I might need some visuals to understand the set-ups that you use. And please
forgive my ignorance as I am a relatively new sailor.
Neil, you said that you use a single line for the traveler with a loop. John,
you said that you use two ends of the same line back to the helm.
Mine has the main sheet with a block and tackle attached to the boom. Then
there are lines at each end of the traveler that use cam cleats that must be
loosened to allow the traveler to move laterally. How do I manage all three
lines from the binnacle?
John, thanks for the info on your website. That is quite an impressive array
of projects that you have completed through the years. I'm not sure what year
you were referring to for the cam cleats with the extended loop.

John,
I did mine the same as you, but never cut the line in two. It lets me loop it
over the binnacle which works great for us. A neighbor told us about the
approach and I figured I could always cut the line to make 2 lines if needed

agree with Neil, I however use two ends of the same line back to the helm. I
have Harken long throw jam cleats on the cabin top that allows me to snap the
line loose like flicking a whip or jam it by pulling down. See
arpeggio1984.info web site, under projects. I can look up the jam cleats if you
are interested but they look like a regular cleat with an extended higher
capture loop.. John RussoArpeggio Norwalk CT From: CnC-List

Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C 32 Mainsheet Traveler Location Leave the traveler
where it is. It's a great place. We used a single line for the traveler such
that the loop came all the way back to the binnacle. Kind of like reins for s
horse. Works great. Get Outlook for iOS _____________________________

Hello everyone, I want to set up my 32 to be able to single-hand. Currently,
the traveler is on the coach roof and my wingspan is not large enough to reach
the helm and the mainsheet at the same time I'm wondering if any other 32
owners have set their boats up to single-hand and what solutions you've come up
with. The most obvious solution seems to be to move the traveler directly in
front of the binnacle a la the 30, but the t-shaped cockpit seems to pose a
challenge for that location. My current Harken traveler is 4 feet long. I
measured the space between the cockpit settes below the seat lids at under 3
feet. Any ideas? Thanks, Graham S/V SpellboundCleveland, Ohio1981 C&C 32
