Default More boats...mid boom

...And kids, don't be
afraid of a traveler in the cockpit!!!!


Should one teach kids that boats (or whatever) have been
made especially safe for them, so they never learn use
proper care & intelligence when on a boat (or whereever)?

A traveler mounted on the coach roof is a common item, available from
many builders. I had one on the C&C 32 and it worked fine. The 73 year
old owner of the 35s5 had no problem adjusting the mainsheet in 25
knots of air and a clear cockpit is better for a family out for some
fun and short range cruising.
Really, Doug. You have no point.
