[C320-list] rebedding the traveller

[Jeff Hare]

Garhauer's new traveler is jam free and give you the option of double sided control, or both control lines coming out the same side.

Worth a look anyway.

Subject: [C320-list] rebedding the traveller

My boat has developed a small leak around a bolt for the traveller into the head compartment. It's prompting me to think that a project this winter should be to remove and rebed the traveller. If anyone has tips for this project I'd like to hear them. For example, how to remove the traveller, and what else I should be doing as part of the same project. 
I've been a lucky man so far in that my boat has managed to avoid many of the problems others have experienced with older boats. But it is time to face the music on a boat that is 17 years old but still seems new to me.

BTW, has anyone replaced their traveller with a different design? I've frequently been frustrated that the control lines jam.
