Not pretty but function is all that matters. Todd, What's up with the traveler/mainsheet set up. How's that work?

I thought it was ugly too. however it works great, so i cant take it off. the traveler is coming off probably tommorow. Mine is a harken traveler and mid boom mainsheet. traveler is in front of cabin. The block is for the adjustable backstay.

This is a nice tiller control. A year ago several joined my thread on their DIY controllers and improvements to commercial products. You can see that Here

I had one of those but gave it up because I had to take it off evry time to get the tiller cover on.
I got an 8' length of bungee cord (with a hook at either end) put 2 wraps around the tiller and attached the hooks to each stern cleat.
Move the tiller and it stayed in place. Was great for single-handing and it sure was cheap!
