[Sonar] Split Traveller

[Henry Brantingham]

Sailors: 

 

I'm planning to install a split traveler system on Balderdash! this spring.
I have the article that Shepstone distributed during his last visit, so I
think I pretty much know how to proceed, but I have a couple of questions
that I though maybe you who have sailed with it already may be able to
comment on: 

1.	The article recommends cutting back to a 3:1 main sheet.  Is this a
good idea?  Do any of you have that now? 
2.	Wire vs Kevlar:  Seems Kevlar would be easy, but I'm not sure I
trust it.  The article recommends it because you can adjust the length. Any
comments? 
3.	Any other details I haven't thought to ask about? 

 

Thanks in advance for your comments.
