Thanks for the confirmation of my thoughts Steve... As far as your
situation goes, getting support in the middle of your traveller bar is
fairly simple. Just weld a flange running the length of the traveller
support along the middle of the underside, thus making a rigid I-beam.
It on only need be 1/8"x1" in section, but this should beef it up
considerably, and it is an inexpensive modification

Eli is correct in his observation and recommendations.. To get 10" height
would require a lot of wood structure.. Kind of a "Trestle"..

Many boat with a mid boom sheet end up with a structure over the cabin top
and companion way.. Here was my solution, fabricated out of stainless steel.

There are some traveler end supports that are intended to be fitted to
proprietory tracks, but IMHO they lack support in the middle of the track,
where it is needed must.
