I think I can remember some time back a member of this group suggested rollers sheaves on the traveller car provided a significant improvement in the ease of operation.

Has anyone carried out this modification and if so what hardware was used?

"After racing in 25 KTS with 30+ gusts, I found the effort high on the traveller control lines.
