Spliced
I just installed a small Garhauer travleler on my Typhoon using splices because of the very limited travel on the small deck. Much cursing involved for two afternoons having not spliced in awhile.

Traveler
Finally getting around to posting about some things I have done with the Typhoon. I have never been happy with the mainsheet system so finally went out and bought the hardware and teak to put in a traveler.

The sidelights stay protected and yet visible from th...
