Moving the traveller aft - good idea or not?

[ch1l1d0g]

Hi all

I have a 24 foot S&S keeler - glass hull with glass over ply deck. I'm currently replacing the deck as the previous owners didn't quite understand preventative maintenance but that's not why I'm here.

In the current setup the traveller is just aft of the cabin before the foot well (does that have a special name?) What I'd like to do is move it further aft (just behind the tiller) so that people can enter and exit the cabin without worrying about the traveller hitting them. This would also free up that space for seating room as the area behind the tiller is not used currently and there's about a foot and a half of space they can't use with the traveller in it's current location. The mainsheet is currently attached about midway along the boom so moving this to the end of the boom shouldn't pose any problems.

Can anyone see any reason not to do this? Assuming that the traveller is attached in the new location suitably of course....

Cheers, Alan
