FWIW, my 1995 36XL/kcb came with the traveler mounted just forward of the
binnacle and was originally a Lewmar model. For reasons that I no longer
remember, I switched the Lewmar out for a Harken with a windward sheeting car
(that may have been the reason!).
During the install (done by Layline on-board), I didn't notice anything special
about any reinforcements beneath the traveler--just mounted to the aft end of
the cockpit seats with lots of bolts and big washers. The traveler spans the
cockpit space and is held only by about a 1 foot length on each side screwed
through the seat structure.
Since the lever arm on the boom is longer (compared to a traveler mounted
forward) the forces on the traveler will be reduced from a more forward
location.
