[quote=rattlenhum][quote=teperacing]Question, my old boat was a 78' I had the newer low profile ronstan jib cars on it in the trac. The boat I bought is a 86, it has the swivel cleat closer to the mast and then the four hole thing in the trac.... Is that a better set up than what I had?[/quote]
I may not understand exactly what you've got correctly, but...
I never used the 4-hole "plastic knuckle" Trentec car so can't really give an honest comparison. Some folks swear by them. However, I really dig the Ronstan low profile cars.....they work so sweet and the jib sheet pulls more directly on the clew. I would think it has to be better to have the traveller, rather than the sheet, doing all that winding around. You could replace the Trentec cars with the low pros for your sheets, then use the swivel cams on the beam for yor traveller lines.
If that's too confusing, just ignore it. Probably best to try out both anyway.[/quote]
