<p class="MsoNormal">I've got a Harken Windward Mainsheet Traveler installed, and have noticed some inconsistency with it. Could be maintenance, and I plan on taking care of this in the upcoming off season. However, I did come across the note below on the
Capri 25 Fleet page. Wondering if this might be teasing at some of the performance on the traveler. Is anyone using Brady Blocks as described below, and if so, can I peak at how your setup to get an idea on what this looks like?<o:p></o:p></p>

Harkin's popular windward sheeting traveler does not work well on a Capri 25 (regardless of what John Speltz tells you) because Capri 25 traveler bars are relatively low. If you want use what's known as Brady Blocks, which are L shaped pieces of aluminum that
have two cleats on each unit. These mount where the regular cleats are with one cleat in the normal position, while the other is mounted to allow you to lock the leeward traveler cleat from the rail. J22's often use these.</span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#555555"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
