Alex, My 35-1 has end boom sheeting and the traveler in the cockpit. I have forward and aft biminis to allow passage of the mainsheet purchase. I have a filler piece which zips in/out for sailing or when at anchor or docked. The filler piece is split with a hook and loop closure around the mainsheet purchase. Installation/removal takes only a couple minutes.
When installed, the filler piece makes a noticeable difference. Dennis C.
