Underdeck Traveler Control: Racing boats often keep decks clean by running the traveler tackle belowdeck. This system has a 6:1 purchase that exits at a central control pod forward of the wheel or tiller, which allows the mainsheet trimmer to easily adjust the traveler. Popular on boats like the Farr® 40. 4:1 Dodger: This system works well with a dodger. 4:1 Remote Cleat: If the traveler is mounted ahead of the companionway, place the cleats at the aft-edge of the cabin house.
