[Rhodes22-list] (now) replacement traveler

[Mary Lou Troy]

No one has said anything about the GB system so I will forward what 
little I know about it.

What you saw in the photo on Chris Cowie's boat is a prototype. I 
think the verdict is that the mechanism works well (4 to 1 purchase) 
but that the cleats at either end need to be smaller so they are 
going to rework it a bit. We didn't get to see it in operation but it 
appears to be traveller track mounted on the stainless bar that most 
of us have as a traveller bar.

Chris has evidently been testing it out for Stan and perhaps he can 
give us a progress report.

I'm not sure that it's actually available from GB yet but I think 
Stan said "soon" to someone who was asking about it.

BTW, great to meet up with some Rhodies at the show.
