[C320-list] Line management

Those smart contoller wireless remotes are absolutely incredible, they
allow you steer from the comfort of the companion way...

Bob,

On older boats with jam cleats for the traveler lines, you can drape the
line over the binnacle and pop that in a puff. I don't like the new setup
that has sheet stoppers for the traveler lines.

I agree with Orlando. When single handing I usually let the autopilot
steer while I sit forward and trim the sails. If you are going to do a lot
of single-handing, add a Smartcontroller autopilot remote to your wish
list. I got one for a single-handed trip this summer. It's awesome!

Good idea...if I had one.  Yeh, I know, that'll be your next purchase
suggestion for me.  It's on our list of purchases...a long and growing
one.  I told my wife when we bought the boat that we could easily drop
at least $5K, if not more, on accessorizing her (the boat) if we let
ourselves.
