Topic: Traveller modification

As seen in previous posts I am researching modifications, upgrades etc to the Contessa and am always lookng for great advice from others. 
Aside from the new engine; I am looking at building or having built a traveller on a rail across the stern, But I often enjoy standing up at the tiller or even on the seat.  Are there any considerations as to how high a traveller fram can be raised off the stern or mods to allow the tiller to be raised while underway using a traveller system on a rail. 
thanks

Re: Traveller modification

Mainsheet Traveller: I was wrong, mine was NOT on coach roof, was on rear, what a lunatic I am...and YES: it can restrict the tiller if you have a support for it...you could always put it far back on the transom deck as you can.
