Main Boom Traveler
« on: October 07, 2011, 10:34:13 AM »
I just bought my P323 in the spring ..and already I am perplexed with dealing with the main boom traveler . .So I am posting this question to see if any others have moved the traveler to the coach house roof ?   Of those that have  . .Do you have a Dodger installed??  Or am I missing something by thinking that I can move  it forward ?? . .Thanks in advance for any comments or insights . .

Rick Lucas moved the traveler on "Ping".  The story is in the projects section here.

Here's the link to the PDF:

I personally hate the 2:1 rig on the original traveller.  It has the beckets in place
to do a 3:1.   Rigrite still has the block & cleat assemblies that fit on the Nicro-Fico
tracks we have (part nos NF6612R, NF6612L), but they're expensive:
