to adjust the traveler and the stock set up forces me to turn 180 degrees to
either lower or raise the it. After turning around twice, I am disoriented.
(I always sail from the cockpit.)
I was thinking of somehow adding (or removing?) a turn to the traveler so
that pulling on the port line moved the boom to starboard. That might do it.
What does anybody else think about that?
Do you have a picture of your ama setup?

Turning blocks on the aft lifting eyes position the line on the aka and you don't even look to grab it (from either side).
