Unless your boat has suffered some kind of catastrophic deck delamination, I would say that your traveller was installed improperly. If you would provide a picture, we could probably tell. If you have a standard T37, I am guessing someone tried to anchor it solely in the hatch hood without the ends being firmly attached to the house top. But without seeing it, hard to guess. This is the kind of thing I would expect a competent surveyor to note. Unfortunately, there are a host of poor quality surveyors out there. Ray Durkee T37 #373
