Designing a cockpit to include the traveler is the biggest challenge . . . . . On the bridge deck - good for the crew to trim the main, but deadly for moving around the cockpit . . . . . Aft by the binnacle is good for trimming and good for short handed sailing but again is very awkward to use the cockpit for comfort or movement . . . . . Forward of the companionway solves all cockpit moving around hurdles but indeed forces extra structure in the deck construction, a stronger boom, and stronger mainsheet. And, as suggested makes it challenging for short handed sailing . . . . . There was/is not perfect solution . . . . . Hunter solved it with a big structural Bimini-type rail to carry the traveler up high, but I could never bring myself to do that to the aesthetics of our designs . . . . .
