I saw a picture of it, I think he put a traveler aft. It was posted on this site somewhere, if you go back through the for sale link I think it'sin there, it's Harv7, I think you can P<M him if you click on his name.

Yarrow,
I bought an F25 round mast in New York in November and it has a dodger. I had the boat transported to Mass and haven't really seen how it all works together. I have been wondering though since the jam cleat for the mainsheet faces aft ... I'm wondering how it will fit under the dodger with the traveller low,etc.
The Tartan 41 I sold prior to getting this had the mainsheet (midboom) lead forward to the mast and then back through a cutout in the dodger. No matter where the traveller was adjusted to it was the same fair lead for the mainsheet.
I'm sure it will make sense when I put everything together. Maybe I'll contact the previous owner (never met him).

sounds good,

Great to hear another F25 is doing well in New England. we may need to do a get-together this season, even a spring get-together in May. Thanx for the help I contacted Harv and found out his F25 with a dodger moved the main sheet, and traveler to cockpit. Not sure if I like this solution but excited to see more pics.
