Has anyone put a mainsheet traveler on a P19. either cabin top or transom
mounted ? The stock P19 mainsheet control is pretty weak and I am looking
for ideas to upgrade to.

______
I'm also interested in any info/suggestions regarding this idea or any other
main sheet arrangement that would keep the main sheet from crossing the
cockpit . I use the factory mainsheet arrangement and the main sheet
crosses the back 1/4 of the cockpit on any point of sail other than close
hauled. I've considered moving the 2 outboard transom blocks further
inboard?

I'm also interested in alternate winch locations. Mine's mounted at the
back of the cockpit and the handle is always in the way in some manner or
other.
