4:1 Windward Sheeting

3:1 Remote Cleat

When the crew sits above the traveler, lead control lines up the cockpit sides to a convenient cleat on the coaming.

Under Deck Traveler Control

Racing boats often keep decks clean by running the traveler tackle below deck. This system has a 6:1 purchase that exits at a central control pod forward of the wheel or tiller, which allows the mainsheet trimmer to easily adjust the traveler. Popular on boats like the Farr® 40.
