A friend has two travellers on his 32 footer, though it's not a C&C. The coachroof traveller is used for cruising and the one across the front of the cockpit seats is used for racing. His mainsheet purchase had two sets of bails and we would move the purchase at the dock. He still can't singlehand because he sits behind a wheel and can't reach the mainsheet. There should be a way to keep your traveler where it is, and rework the purchase so the dead end of the line leads back to the end of the boom to a block and then down to a swivel cleat on the cockpit floor in front of the wheel, where you could reach around and adjust the line while steering. You may need to get a longer mainsheet.
FWIW, I moved my traveller fifteen years ago to have a nice setup in front of my wheel, I can send pictures if you like.
