[C38] Traveler Location?

[Steve.Ribble at gmail.com]

David, My traveler (1980 hull) is locagted where yours is/was, a foot or so  
aft of the leading edge of the companionway opening.

For what its worth, I've had another boat with the traveler mounted  
mid-cockpit and I wouldn'ty go back to that confoguration...it's always in  
the way.
