Hi.
I have an annoying problem with my carbon tiller on my Laser Standaed, in that the tiller rubs on the knot of the traveler rope when it passes over it.
There is a little movement play up and down on the rudder when wiggling the tiller. I thought the gudgeons might have been worn, but this still occurs after i changed them out for new ones.
Is the only way to avoid this to make the traveler triangle larger thus moving the knot further away from the rudder?
The traveler knot is already pressed quite flat from the tiller moving over it. The traveler rope is 5mm S12 Dyneema.
Does adding a flat washer to each pintle help by raising the tiller slightly?
Has anyone else experienced this and have a solution?
