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.
One idea I had was to adopt the mainsheet system that is used on the Catalina 22 which is a small tubular bar mounted over the tiller on the transom with a traveler car on it. It is a pretty simple setup and as long as it has enough height to clear the P19 tiller it might work nicely. The part can be bought from www.catalinadirect.com for about $120 including control hardware and lines. Any thought or ideas would be nice.

I have a nice photo of our P19 heading into Chicago at sunset after crossing Lake Michigan from New Buffalo, Mi posted at http://www.skyenet.net/~groveb/chicago.html take a look at it.
