[Rhodes22-list] New Traveler Modifications

[Richard Stott]

Stan’s traveler works pretty well but is not that  great for fast.
Serious mods are possible for a quick acting traveller, but getting used to dumping the main sheet is less expensive. 
Different boats require different techniques. 
Try some options before you revert to old habits.
