A line is fixed at a first end and is routed through the first sheave. The line is routed through a plurality of turning blocks. An opposite end of the line is fixed after routing the line through the second sheave. The traveler control provides a mechanical advantage for convenient and precise positioning of a mainsail of a sailboat.
