with the new canvas I've had done, it's become necessary to revamp my traveler lines used to move and hold it. In the past I had big flaps to reach out and unlock when necessary, and standing on my cabin ladder I would pull and release the lines accordingly. But today a fellow captain and I figured a way to change it so that it would be completely controllable inside the cockpit by removing the present cam cleats on the traveler and installing 2 newer ones with eye leads included into the deck inside. I'll still work from my ladder, or knees on the cushion at the top of the ladder, but I'll now be able to release the lines without having to be somehow outside the cockpit to do so. I'm wondering what other 31-2 owners are doing for their traveler control and usage if different from my setup? I always figured this is how Pearson designed it, but never planned for a dodger to be there. I also can't believe it took me 14 years to figure this out :(
Great reference. Well done. That looks like a nice solution to managing a cabin top traveler. I sort of wonder if 3:1 is enough traveler purchase? I have 4:1 with end-boom sheeting and it's OK. 31-2 main is actually a smidge larger than 10M and mid-boom sheeting increases load by maybe 2X? but that's a detail that can be revised. And the pulling orientation is pretty good too.

I was talking about the traveler purchase not the mainsheet.
