In the humble opinion of the GB engineering department, this system is 100% wrong./* */ One of the advantages of a loose footed sail is the ease and degree of draft setting it allows. However you do not want drat setting to take the sail out of its being in the same plane as its boom.  To do so would depreciate the value of the traveler in pointing. Therefore setting up the connection of the main sail to the out-haul car so this distance from said car to the sail is variable, is undesirable.

With the GB system the sail is "hard wired" (is fixed) to the out-haul car so that no matter what draft is set in the sail by your positioning of the out-haul car, the sail remains in the same plane as the boom. This makes the traveler a much more efficient aid in pointing ability.

The GB new traveler system invention, with its single endless push or pull control line that requires no cleating, therefor allowing for comfortable use of the traveler regardless of the captain's preferred port or starboard perch, encourages the use of a traveler for so much better sailing performance.

A valuable upgrading for any Rhodes not already having a GBTSI: $495 for non C of S community members.  $395 for C of S sailors.
