The traveler includes 3 adjustments: the main sheet and the port and stbd traveler control lines. All this presupposes a marconi rig. There are many other main sail types, which include other control lines, one of which I believe would be called a gullet. What does it do? Another would be a brace. Another would be a parrel, one of possibly 7 or 8, What does it do, to what sort of sail? Remember to think global and act local.
