[C320-list] Extended traveler lines

[Allan S Field]

I essentially do the same thing as does Chuck with the traveler lines except
that I run them outboard of the winches so that when heeled, they don't fall
to the deck as they would if laying on the cockpit seats.

I don't do anything fancy.  I just installed longer traveler lines that
reach all the way to the back of the cockpit.  When I'm single-handing, I
lay them out along the cockpit seats so that I can reach them from the
wheel.  I can still flick them out of the existing traveler cam cleats and
easily adjust.

Hi Chuck!
I would be interested in a few pics on how you ran the traveler lines.
Tanx!

Doug - I have not experienced your issue with the C320 rounding up easily.
I single-hand a lot, and I have extended the traveler sheets to the back of
the cockpit.? If I get a gust, then I can easily ease the traveler to reduce
heel angle.? I've found that the 320 sails best with moderate heel angles.
