Right now, TONIC has a short mainsheet traveler that bisects the cockpit. See the photo below. It's about 26' long, a bit of pain in the ass to move past, and I'm not sure how much benefit it provides. It would be nice to have an open cockpit.
I've been thinking about removing it entirely, and going with two blocks at the end of the cockpit, which would allow me to straddle the tiller. See red lines on photo.
I'm not sure about a few things:
1. Is the angle from the end of the boom to the point on the deck too great?
2. How can I obtain the proper purchase?
3. Where would I cleat it?
4. Is this a stupid idea?
Thanks,
B.C.
