As is customary on Hunters, the traveler is overhead, on
a stainless-steel arch, to keep the cockpit clear of the
obstruction and the boom clear of your head. The helms-

way as illustrated above. The setup allows short handed
sailing when there are only a couple of people in the
cockpit or with an autopilot doing the steering.
