Traveller
The traveller is attached to the rail using RWO cleats.  I could not use the "under the aft grate" method because my boat has a huge stern tank.  This is a bonus when one dumps the boat, but is bad for other things, like rigging travellers and hiking straps.  Anyway, the line is turned on the transom cap using a micro block on a spring, and then led to the traveller car.  After is passes through the car, it is deadended using the "knot through the drilled hole" plan.  Seems to work well so far, but I'm not sure how it will hold up in really heavy air.
