I was going to say I like the cabin top arrangement for cruising (not so much for racing) because the traveler and sheet are out of the cockpit, where everyone likes to sit. My 42 Custom has the same arrangement as the 34 (the boat is basically a big version of the 34 or 36, with the keel swept back slightly more). The main is a bit of a pain to trim when shorthanded, but on balance I like it where it is – out of the way.

I had a traveller right across the cockpit on our previous boat. It was great for adjusting the sails, but it was also great to hit my wife on the shins. The current boat has a traveller on the cabin top, and it was a “must have” requirement for this boat. It is almost the same discussion as the wheel vs. tiller.

When sailing wife the wife I find adjustments to the main difficult at times. Have tried playing with the traveler but the sheet tension is the problems.
