Laser Rigging: Pro Traveler Setup - International Sailing Academy

This video outlines one of the most common beginners and intermediate rigging/tuning errors seen in a laser and how to fix it. When the traveler is setup with too big of a triangle, it is impossible to get enough tension in the system to keep the block down on the deck. This is particularly a problem in the transitional wind where minimal vang is recommended (block to block) but mainsheet tension can be approaching or hitting block to block. If the traveler block is off the deck, there is a potential loss of mainsheet tension that cannot be achieved. This can result in pointing issues and speed issues as well.

Great video! Two quick questions: 1) Does it matter if the boom blocks are not pinned to (touching) the traveler fairlead when close-hauled upwind, so long as the blocks themselves are down on the deck? 2) What are the functional consequences of traveler blocks that rise off the deck (i.e., potential mainsheet tension lost)?

Thanks!
