My traveler is just ahead of the wheel. Having the sheer control there would be quite convenient.

The C&C 99 has a 4:1 / 8:1 mainsheet that works well. My 34R has 5:1 with a 20:1 double ended fine tune. This allows me to release the mainsheet in a very controlled manner when it's heavily loaded, rounding the windward mark. Where is your traveller now?

Would 4:1 be enough or would 6:1 be better? My preventer is a pretty big 4 part and cam cleat setup, it just about looks like it could do the job.
