David, I think that there is a problem with the traveler. I replaced my old bridge deck mounted Schaefer traveler that came on the boat with a Garhauer. I can adjust the traveler from behind the helm using one hand in 15-20 knots. The Garhauer has a 6:1 purchase on a ball bearing car.
FWIW, the Garhauer traveler was a bargain. Guido made an extra tall track to raise the car in the trough in my bridge deck and drilled the track to match the bolt holes in the old track. He also made special brackets for the turning blocks so I can trim from the helm. Customized at no extra cost, and under $300 for a 38 foot boat.
