A traveler control for a boat includes a car that traverses a track. A first sheave is positioned on a first end of the car and a second sheave is positioned on an opposite end of the car. 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.
