Russ. You would be a good candidate for an infinitely adjustable traveler trim. The lake conditions were an instant give away.

Find a way to install the traveler that optimizes the use.

I'm not sure what that is. I had assumed mine is already "infinitely adjustable" within its length.

Yes. That is true.
the question. Is it in the best place for your purpose.
I solo. Mine is located on the deck area before the companion way. As it is a flat track with pin stops, it does not interfere with crew sitting on the deck. The need to move if there is trim work but when on long tacks the deck is used as a seat.
As it is in front of my helm it is position to allow all sail trim to be accomplished. Solo sailing , I turn on the AP. Initiate the turn, step in front of the helm. Handle the sails then check the new heading and adjust as required.
