ABSTRACT:
The traveler has a car movable on an athwartship track. The mainsheet is connected to the car. Two oppositely facing hooks are pivotally mounted on the car for similar, simultaneous movement between a latching position and an inoperative position. A spring biases the hooks to latching position. Control lines are connected to each end of a bar which has sliding engagement with the hooks. When a control line is tensioned, the bar moves towards the line and actuates the hooks to inoperative position. When both lines are slack, the hooks are in operative position to engage stop pins positioned on either side of the center of the track.
