So keep the heeling under 20-25 degrees by flattening the main or trimming the traveler. Great. I can do that. In fact I just rigged my traveler with lines for adjusting.

Dufour Arpege lead car question...

The sheaves on my lead cars are pretty rough. Does anyone know who manufactured these lead cars ... circa 1972? If not, has anyone replaced theirs? Where did you find them?

Thanks,
