Hey Don;
What is the minimum length for a traveler to be effective? I have a Hunter 26 without one. The least offensive place to put one would be on the cockpit sole between the seats, but that would allow less than 3 feet in length. Running one on top of the seats would give me about 6 feet, but would make for awkward seating and a real tripping hazard. The main sheet is attached close to the end of the boom, and could be positioned at the very end if needed. I'm not interested in putting a traveler on top of the companionway or mid-boom. What do you say?
