Solo Opinions?

   There really is no need ever to be forward of the thwart, despite that you might think that it is fast, it really isn’t, I think it is because you put the bow apron in the water, without lifting out the transom, which is not very hydrodynamic.
More modern boats have shorter travellers, to clear a space to rest a cheek ... old boats can be modified to clear this space.  For most modern rigs you don’t need a full width traveller.
