OK--I'm the one Jack is talking about. The reason I was interested in adding the boom traveler was that the hanger is aligned with the main traveler when the boat is going down wind. When I'm going up wind, the blocks are at an angle that puts a LOT of pressure on the gooseneck and it makes it very difficult to cleat/uncleat them. I have adjusted the angle of the main block cam as low as it will go, but I have to practically stand up on the boat to cleat the main! The only other alternative I could think of would be to move the hanger in a little and find a happy medium.
