Hi, and thanks for the response.

The latter - like two vang hardware setups, at the end of the boom, one each to the opposite sides of the cabin roof - and, I suppose, you could go one better and put them on the genny rail if it had a hook place, or a slotted toe rail, if that's what you have (ours doesn't) for the widest dispersion of downhaul capability. We likely won't do *anything* for a year or so, just to see what's up about how we like the boat. It's an ex-Moorings 461, hull #2, and all of them were set up with that dinky traveler - but I've not seen any without it still there, so it must be at least acceptable. However, we like to sail... L8R Skip and Lydia -- "And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a clear night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you are quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as self-sufficient as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin
