Petar, When I first purchased my 38 I considered doing this. After looking at the work involved in reinforcing the cabin top and dealing with the balsa core in the area you would want to mount the traveler, I decided that it was easier to to deal with the traveler as is. The current location is actually easier to use when short-handed and it is only in my way when sailing closehauled, otherwise I keep the traveler eased down to leeward enough that it doesn’t block access to the companionway. After 3 years of living with it, I have decided that I prefer the current arrangement. James Delaney 1976 C&C 38 Oriental, NC

I know that few listers have both cockpit and cabin top travelers, was that factory installed? For cruising and living aboard C&C 38, I find cockpit traveler to be very annoying and always in a way, however the backing is very solid. Cabin top on the other hand does not look very sturdy as a way to provide mainsheet traveler attachment.
