[quote=av8erdunn]When do you want to cleat the traveler? I was sailing this past Wednesday in Panama city Beach Fl and was wondering when I need to cleat it. It was not a very good day for me sailing, this was the third time I have ever been sailing and boy did it show. It was pretty busy out and the winds was blowing around 12-15 knots with 2-3ft swells. I had my wife and 3yo on board and all I could think about was my daughter falling off and not being able to get back to her and my wife quickly. I told my wife if she ever falls off to jump in after her and I will be back. I sailed around for probably an hour trying to get the hang going from point to point but all that happened was I got more and more pissed beacuase I could not get it right. Also I wish I could somehow flip my main sheet cleat. As of now it is pull up to cleat and down to uncleat which is a real pain when you want to cleat it and you are hanging out by the tramp straps. I ended up getting pissed and leaving the beach2 days earlier than expected and plus the jelly fish was horrible so my daughter could not get in the water. Any suggestions?<!-- editby --><em>edited by: av8erdunn, Aug 27, 2010 - 08:12 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
