[Rhodes22-list] Traveler

[Slim]

I had a terrific day sailing solo today but I find myself wrestling a lot
with the traveler.  Has anyone ever changed to a different cleat to make it
more ergonomic?  If you dump the traveler in a gust, getting it back to
windward is difficult if it's really blowing.  I'd have much better leverage
pulling the line forward rather than laterally to windward.  Especially when
I'm sitting in the cockpit and not up on the rail.  Maybe a swivel cam like
WM Cat page 1057, model #3734183.  Heavier line?  Any thoughts?
