On my old C&C 24 I had the traveller aft of the companion way (almost a foot aft). It was great for handling the main (I also had a good Harken traveller car there), but it was a major pain for anyone going inside. My admiral hated it. To the point that the hard requirement for the new(er) boat was that it had the traveller on the cabin top.
Now we have an easy access below, but the sail trimming is more complicated. Marek
