It has a traveler. I will have to check on boom vang but this can be added pretty easily as well AFAIK.

Alex, thanks for the excelent videos. You are my hero. All this time I thought the only mainsail control was the main sheet. (I sailed for the first time in July). I thought the outhaul just compensated for sail stretch as it aged. I thought the boom vang just keeps the boom from falling out of it's slot in the mast. I had no idea what a traveler might be for.

Thanks again. Eric
