Doesn't that allow some slippage letting the traveler fall off some?


I'm guessing that the black cord is elastic, so pulling hard pulls the bowlines against the eyelets. An elaborate setup, and I can't figure out what it's trying to achieve.

For the system to be of any use, the join in the rope needs to be in-board of the rollers on the traveller car, as in Simon's set up.

That black line is not elastic, I can't see why it would be. Doesn't make a lot of sense if it were.
It can be difficult getting the proper distance to make it work.. but youa re right, needs to be inboard. I usually run mine up to the rollers... but I am going to change it. Problem is the chafe at the point where the core comes out of the taper. But I like Simon's set up
