Whether or not the traveler line is continuous or open ended at the sides is obviously matter of personal preference. On the 29-2 I had I started out with a continuous line. The problem with it was that the cockpit on that boat is small and the crew frequently got caught up on the line and tripp

I have open ended traveler car control lines that go through turning blocks to cam cleats on the bulkhead directly above the traveler. That is a reasonable compromise for the way I sail the boat because actually I do very little traveler adjusting under sail. I find that the boat works quite well

The way it is looks like a stretched "C" flag, so in keeping with being a C&C. One thing I've seen done is to fade the stripes into the topsides. So the bottom stripe would be Royal blue, the next Marlin, and the top Sky Blue. (looking at the awl grip color chart). That's a neat look, I think. On

I think you pretty much have to paint the boot stripe on a 37+. The stripe needs to get noticeably wider toward the bow and it gets very wide where it turns and passes under the stern. Certainly if vinyl it would have to be custom cut unless you were going to overlap multiple runs of tape. I've
