Hello,

I have to admit I don't know much about this subject, but a friend said that he was going to add a homemade boom traveler to his Prindle 18-2. He is planning on using a Harken traveler and track, mounted to his boom. His upper blocks would be attached to this traveler, which is free floating. He said that the main blocks maintain a constant angle with this setup, when the main traveler is centered or out to the side. I guess the main advantage would be that the main sheet cam would always be the same angle to you. Does anyone out there have a similar setup? Is there an advantage with it?
