Posts: 1,449 | Many boats do this. It is a better way of ensuring the traveller is held in the centre when under load upwind. A single line tends to allow the traveller to move slightly off centre.
I know that the voices in my head aint real, but they have some pretty good ideas. There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!

Posts: 1,449 | I've fitted all my traveller tracks by bolting the track to the beam and taping a ring spanner to a batten. I put a small piece of tape in the ring and press the nyloc nut in. Then sit a washer on top and duralac on top of the washer to prevent a corrosion between the beam and washer. It takes a steady hand some patience and an assistant to make this happen. The invent of the electrc screw driver was a godsend for this job.
BTW:- I've just taped the spanner to the batten with masking tape and never had a problem.
