hello, Im thinkin of moving the traveller and mainsheet obviously to where my elbows are on this pic.. what do you think. I want to have the entrance clear of it.. its like an obstacle to enter and to exit the cabin. I sailed on a 30foot vessel that changed its traveller to that position and it seemed to work fine.. Plus I can put a larger Bimini..

Thanks

This is it. Found the pic.. you can see the owner put a �bridge�type to where he hook the traveler on.. the mainsheet got shorter but it seemed to work fine. Hes been sailing this way many years now and has a longer bimini cover and no obstacle if I could call it on the entrance and exiting the cabin..
