So the mainsheet traveler wanted to play tough

[Concordia...41]

The nuts came off the bolts underneath without hesitation (first sign something's going to be a problem), but the stainless bolts had become one with the bronze traveler.

Since it wanted to play hard ball, I introduced Mr. Mainsheet Traveler to Mrs. Sawzall :D :D

Good riddance. That's the best lounging spot on the boat. Go back to the original layout or a modern traveller aft.

I hate - really hate - travellers across the companionway..

I was on a trip from Ramsgate to Ipswich once - four crew on a 34 footer with a full width traveller across the entrance to the cabin..

Conditions were fresh - F6 southerly forecast to veer westerly and rise to 8/9.

I was below, making a log entry, plotting position on the chart and starting a brew - when there was a major kerfuffle on deck.
Quick visual check of who was on the helm - and I decided to jump out on deck.

Half way out we crash gybed - trapping my right leg between the edge of the hatch/companionway and the mainsheet.

"A pretty good christian might whistle when he steps on the commercial end of a tack" - but reader I swore, loudly.

My sister got her hand caught in one of those as she came on deck mid-jibe. It ripped up the web of skin between her thumb and forefinger. It's probably best to belay the traveller amidships during a jibe. The swinging tackle is bad enough.
