I made a removable traveller for my 312 as a part time project. My aim was to make something that is easy to remove clearing space for day-sailing mode and putting back on for beer-can racing. 

The base is water-jet cut from 1" thick aircraft (6016) aluminum. I drilled and tapped holes in the top to mount a standard Harken track (purchased by the previous owner). It's fixed in place with two ties using multiple loops of bare dyneema 1/4" line to the fixed tie down. Two clevis brackets with 1/2" aluminum pipe screwed into the sides prevent it rotating horizontally and EPDM between the traveller base and the seats cushion them. 

It works really well, and my impression is that fully tuning the main, getting all of it to work is getting me about 0.4kts to 0.5kts of speed improvement upwind. That's a really big deal and I'm happy.

The picture is base before painting it. It looks over-engineered (too strong). The Harken online mainsheet load calculator suggests a worst case offshore load on the mainsheet is 1,540lbs (believe it or not ... seems a lot for me with the size of the rigging). That translates to 1,360 lbs of tension in each of the blue dyneema ties. A friend did a 3-D model of the initial DXF file I made for the waterjet cut and the initial design yielded (i.e. the base bent) with the WC sheet tension. The size now is enough to avoid that and the total assembly is about 35lbs. It takes me <2mins to mount it.

2003 311 factory fitted I put the life raft here because I have to step over the traveller so may as well step over the LR at the same time.
I have since changed the car & fitted a cascade with additional cleating for the mainsheet when up wind.
However, if I did not have the LR in place I could have taken the second block & tackle to the floor . This would not affect the travel arrangement & kept things neater on the car. Here is a picture of my set up on the car. It looks bad but it separates when I ease it a bit so not an issue.
Ialso would point out that when sailing with a tiller one has to lift it to tack & the boat is temporarily out of control so one has to be a bit quick in moving across.
Different with a wheel I expect.

Excellent place for the raft. Looks almost like the width of the foot well was designed around the raft box length. Wonder if that's an ad hoc standard. I thought about a simple bar screwed into the seats, but wasn't confident Hanse put the backing plate into all the boats. No way to tell if mine has one without breaking the teak.

Went on the boat today. In the aft berth there is nothing to see under the position of the traveller in my 2003 version.
Looking at the traveller it is held down with 4 No 8mm machine screws each side & I can only assume that these are drilled & tapped into an aluminium plate. If it is the same as the one for the deck clutches then it is about 10mm thick.
On my boat te traveller was offered as an option so one assumes that the plate is pre set into all the boats during manufacture.
However, if not there is nothing to stop one putting a plate on the underside of the deck as it is fairly flat & a plate could be easily bedded in sikaflex, drilled & through bolted.It would not be in a position where it would interfere with those in the bed (ie hit one's head) & one side would be in the main locker.

I have a 2004 312
I bought the Barton traveler

Easy to install and efficient


I bought the 24902

It MUST be fixed at the bottom of the cockpit as the mainsail power will bend the rail in its middle

If you want pictures

Send me a mail or an MP
As soon as I go to the boot, I'll take pictures
Not only those who wander are lost

I've learn that the best way to learn about people is to sail with them
