Good point, Bill.  If I had any sort of spinnaker, I would have to do something different.  Since I don't, running the headsail sheet from the lead block back to the turning block works nicely for me.

The boats were designed without the slightest concern for a dodger.
Dodgers were rare back then. Custom and expensive.

The main thing I like about a dodger is you can keep the companionway open in the rain.
With the traveler where it is the coverage is not as good as I like.
Doesn't bother me enough to get me to move the traveler :-)

I have an asymmetrical spinnaker.
It's part of the considerations but I'm not racing.
Last year I just lashed a blocks to the stern pulpit.
Worked but  clumsy with only one set of winches.
I swapped the primary and secondary winch on my tartan 30.
It was convenient to trim jib while at helm ( tiller).
Anybody trim jib with a winch further aft?
