Title: Main Traveler
Post by: Surfrdie on November 24, 2009, 07:50:54 PM
Just got my 81 com pac 16 and have a lot of questions.

Tiller was off, what is the length of the original ?
Are you using an outhaul, cunningham and vang ?

Whaty type of , if any , main traveler do you all prefer for the com pac 16?  I have seen many different assemblies.

Replies appreciated.

Welcome!

Tiller information (Style B):

http://www.idasailor.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=750&osCsid=ab3ee909913e9c789354da46309e6454

No traveler necessary. Outhaul, yes, block at end of boom to turn line to a cleat on the boom. No cunningham on mine.

Again, welcome to the user group.

Hi,
I just purchased a nice system from Gaurhauer. I got the Swivel base Cam with Stand Up block and Becket, a Double Block and a Stand Up single Block (all series 25), all for $140. Just the Ronstan Svivel base with block alone was $130.

 i had a vang on my 81 for a while but i couldnt see much advantage to i took it off to simplify things when rigging. a good friend and expierenced sailor of a 16 doesnt have one on his either. i have never reefed the main. my 81 is set up to reef rolling the sail on the boom (kind of a pain singlehanded).
