Before reading on, please take a moment to fill out our weekly survey so we can share your thoughts and experiences with the Cruising Compass family. Thanks.
Many thanks to all of you who took the time to reply to last week’s survey on main sheet travelers. Of those who completed the survey, 91% have a traveler for their main sheet. Of those who do not, 56% have a double or German main sheet system to control boom angle, while 18% use a preventer, 16% use the boom vang to adjust leech tension and 10% do not adjust the boom angle at all when trimming the main sail.
