Traveler track should be as wide as the cockpit just aft of the companionway over the step. Hope this helps. Fair winds and full Sails....

Not really. My set up that I'm looking for is the same that is in the 12 pic on this link

I'm looking the length of that line.
Is that the traveler or do I have the wrong name for it?
Is it the main sheet?
Thanks

Ryan, Sorry for any confusion. Don't understand exactly what you looking for. A traveler is a mainsheet device mounted mid boom that sheet in and adjusts the main. Maybe you could be more specific. Looked at pics and still don't compute, DUH!! Fair winds and full sails....

Thanks. I think it's the mainsheet and a web site that sells line has a length for each line I need. I think I figured it out, I hope.
