In Optimizing the EC12, Well's includes plans on his approach to a traveler and talks about how it helps in windier conditions.
Further comments by others talk about adding a traveler design to their boat.
A number of other designs use a bridle ring to position the mainsheet and this serves as an impromptu traveler - depending how tight you keep the lateral lines allows the point to fall off on the windward side.
Has anyone else tried a traveler on an EC12? Is there value in this or just another adjustment to tinker with
?????

I tried this post a few months ago and received only a single response. Looks like 120 people looked at it but no additional comments. Scott, maybe we can wake up the group???
