Barry repaired the traveler the other day. If you look at the one shot you will see that the traveler is attached to an aluminum bar. The bar was attached to the deck with four bolts in the middle and there was basically nothing holding down the bar at either end. The fiberglass cone is attached with bolts and a backing plate. I have a picture of the backing plates that were underneath the ceiling of the boat. We had to remove the ceiling to get at the backing plates and Barry went and got some 7 “ bolts to bolt on the aluminum bar to the deck. He drilled through the deck and through the existing backing plates and then bolted the aluminum bar into the deck. It should be much more secure now. Let me know if this made sense to you Ian, I am not the most technical person!!!
