We need to reduce the effort needed to bring the traveler up.
Stock ratio is 3 to 1. There is a Harken big bullet block and becket on each side of the main sheet car. This leads out to an upright double mounted on the bottom of the combing, with the line tail going up thru a cam cleat on each side.
I will append some photos of the stock Harken blocks.
I am considering replacing the ones attached to the car with doubles or a small fiddle and then dead-ending the line on a new eye beside the present upright double.
Has any one done a change like this on their Olson or Ericson with an aft-mount or bridgedeck traveler?
