I am looking for recommendations on updating the traveler on my 1970 e32-2.
I bought the boat this April. The current traveler appears to be original equipment.
I have sailed the boat about 15 times and trimming the main under load is quite a chore. The current method is to wrap the sheet around a winch then "yank and shove" on the traveler.
The main sheeted end boom and the current track is curved and ahead of the wheel. and looks similar to this http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/attachment.php?attachmentid=2206&d=1163962929
sizing, purchase, curved versus straight and cost is among my concerns.
