[C320-list] Mainsheet and Traveler Control Lines

[Stanley Rogacevicz]

   I re-routed my traveler lines outside the dodger to cleats on the rear pulpit as I basically single handed all the time with my wife lounging against the bulkhead. That meant that using the traveler risked my wife's de-capitation so.... micky mouse as it may look I led them back to me at the helm and it worked fine for the last 4 years I had the boat.

Greetings:
Tacking can mean adjusting the traveler control lines. It is also handy to
be able to dump the main when a sudden gust arrives. This is impossible to
do from the helm on a 320. Has anyone made an attempt to direct either the
control lines or the mainsheet  to the helm position? I am very interested
in hearing how this has been done as it would be great to have this in place
for the coming sailing season,  if there is a way.
