it gets much more complex and if you are just out for a simple day-sail / cruise with plenty of wind - leaving the trav in the center is fine. The traveller along with the hayard, mainsheet, cunningham and outhaul all contral various aspects of sail shape. You can even use the backstay adjuster. I am not an expert on the topic so I will not get into this much further as I am still learning but I recommend getting a book on the topic for a deeper understanding...as well as more experience on the water.
Don't drive yourself nuts though and enjoy each day on the water!
