Hi gallop,

Our hanse 430e got the main sheet traveller factory fitted.
It is a type 2 lewmar rail, with one single traveller (big one).
The rail is located on the sitting area, between the lockers and the steering pedestals.
The traveller is controlled by a 8mm loop.
The main sheet is fixed on the cockpit floor (10mm padeye).

From the padey, the sheet runs :
- 6 way hoist (not sure about the name) - for fine control
- block on boom (lower one)
- block on the traveller
- block on the boom (upper one)
- block after the vang
- block at the mastfoot
... then back to the cockpit winch

Sorry, no photos...

Edit: adding a drawing...



Edit again:
No cockpit table in our 430 (in fact, we have one, but it folds down while sailing). I am pretty sure sure the traveller is incompatible with the factory cockpit table.

Deck reinforcements, if you plan to add some padeye in the cockpit bottom:

Hi, I would like to install a cockpit traveler in my Hanse 430e in which there is already the table provided by the factory. 
I sent an email to hanse to ask if the reinforcements on the lateral seats (where they mount the traveller when it is set up in the factory) are provided in every boat, including the ones where the table is set up. They haven't answered yet so I am asking if anybody knows anything about this issue. 
I have checked the seats from the inside but it is not clear weather or not there are metal reinforcements embedded in the structure. 
Thank you

Here are the 2 documents I have about steel and/or aluminum reinforcements on the deck.

I just checked under the seats, there is an added (and massive) GRP backing plate right under the rail (and 4 x 10 or 12 mm bolts) on each side.

I said 'added' because this backing plate does not appear in the 2 PDF I sent you.

Just check under your seat for this backing plate. If it's not here, you can add one.

Best regards,
nibheis

You may have to support the beam in the middle with a rod to the cockpit floor. Check the specifications of the beam you intend to use, each size has a maximum span spec.

Personally, I'd recommend a German or Admiral's Cup sheet system using dedicated winches. http://www.harken.com/content.aspx?id=3901  

I initially tried a coarse/fine system on my 400 and it did not work well and I suggest it will be even worse on the 430. It was 6:1 and 24:1. You could not bring the 6:1 in hard enough by hand such that the travel of the 24:1 was enough to set the sail correctly. In the end, the German sheeting works so much better...

Hi Frankplast,

Here are photos (almost live!) from my cockpit traveller. I would call it 'hybrid' because it is half german sheeting and half with a 6:1 (after the 3:1 of the german sheeting on the cockpit side).

Photos are better than words:







As Rubato mentionned, the rail is a 'thick' one because of the bridge it makes between the seats (it has not moved a bit over the last 9 years).
Also, the 6:1 is anchored on the cockpit floor. The rail only supports 2/3rd of the load.

In light winds, we like to anchor the german sheet directly on the cockpit floor to avoid having the 6:1 flying across the cockpit when the boom swings - and we don't need the 6:1 in those conditions.

The german sheeting is very effective, and the 6:1 (in fact a 18:1) works well, it is nice to control the rail and the sheet from the helm.

Best regards,
nibheis

What have you done with your cockpit floor?
