it will do the job... has enough length... and will quickly get several negative names from hurt crew members ...

Each time I see something like that I am thinking: wtf did you do that to the future owner (could be many of us)

It was no easy install either! Look at all those posts.

at least it will live up to its' name, question is if there is some real gain.

No easy install, but easy to create some holes that will lead to a rotten core....

Could use the old traveler holes. Pretty nice for short handed

I thought some sort of award should go to the you-tuber's boat that has the traveller integrated into the dry exhaust pipe - 

A little hard to see here but I'm not going to scrub through video to find a better pic.

Sunfast 3200s and Ofcet 32s have been built within the last 10 years with that sort of arrangement- just to name a few. 
 

They’re not intended for crews and re install - no one is installing those posts in cores without overfilling with epoxy. 
 

American workmenship man differ.

Should have ordered the custom form fitting version.

well, they'll definitely be able to take the boom above centerline...

hey Pete,  I need a new traveler..

Sam:   well I have this 4" I-beam...

Traveler hell;  look at those ankle breakers along either side of the cockpit.

This skipper must hate his crew or is an orthopedic surgeon in need of work.

The page on Vang sheeting was torn out of his book.

Just thinking of all the added weight in the arse end.

 

[Tropical Madness]

Built like a monorail track. Geezus....also makes sure nobody is hiking out behind the helm...

On the plus side good protection for the speakers

Talk about making a High Mass out of a Hail Mary!  That is so overbuilt, it's ridiculous!

"Mannerberg 38 built in Sweden 1995."  Only Swedish boats I'm familiar are the Swede 55, Folkboat and Hallberg Rassy's.  All cool, well designed and built boats, but not serious racers like this.  I still say it's way overbuilt for the task at hand.
