>> Joe:
>> Thanks for the response but my question wasn't clear. My traveller is
>> not
>> attached to the back stays at all. I was wondering what is needed to
>> attach it there. I was wondering if I might take the track, attach it to
>> a
>> stainless steel tube and then work out some way to attach the traveller
>> to
>> the back stays. How are they attached now?

>> Graham:
>>      The changeover is best made while your boat is resting up from a
>> long
>> season of sailing.  I took the existing traveler off and sent it to
>> Stanville. There the General Boats craftsmen transformed it into the
>> new version and sent it home again, where I tucked it away till
>> sailing season then reinstalled it exactly like the old one. Then,
>> "plop, plop - fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is," (AlkaSeltzer).
>>
>>      Moving the main from side to side in order to sail closer to the
>> wind
>> is a breeze (pun always intended). The boom will stay right where you
>> put it.  I like to experiment with it, play around.  Hey, you're
>> sitting on your ass anyway. Why not use the time to become friendlier
>> with your boat, the wind and wonderful combination these two things
>> produce: you as a sailor.  Ready about!  Hard to lee!
