Hi all. I asked this question on the F16 forum but only got one reply. On my H17 the mainsheet must be released in order to ease (and sometimes sheet) the traveller and outhaul even when the mainsheet is not super tight. Both traveller and outhaul bearing seem to be ok and have recently been McLubed. The rearbeam on the H17 is curved upwards so the distrance from the boom to the traveller block increased as the traveller is eased. I've seen this happen before also on a H16 where the rear beam is straight. I'd appreciate others experience with this issue - is this problem specific to my boat, H17's, or most cats? Any way to fix it? It's a very inefficient way to sail...
