Re: Traveller re-model

Hi , In my opinion not a good idea, In winds over 20 ks my traveller is right out to the side when beating, and that's where it should be for
max speed and minimum weather helm. get a good ball bearing traveller and play it when beating, its your throttle.
Regards SULA.

The beauty of the Ballad is when going f...

Remember that boat speed comes mainly from the genoa , The main is more like a trim tab in winds over 12 knots. It helps pointing and balances the helm. if making a longr foot have the sail cut very flat, or y...
