Ivan, check Gaurhauer's website for their price. You might find CD is cheaper. If so, do what I did: call Garhauer and see if they will match the price! CD's shipping was more expensive so I didn't mention that.
I have the mid-boom sheeting, so a different animal, I believe.

The Catalinadirect traveler upgrade(H1770 $259) is a Garhauer, it's comparable to the MT-1 ($325) not to the MT-3 ($250.00). CD claims that this unit is only made for them and is made specifically for the C27, with the only adjustment that may be needed is some shim to angle the track towards the boom end. Luckily my track is on a block to angle it already, so hopefully a little cold beer to help the screws out and back in. A little to help loosen my muscles up too probably wouldn't be a bad thing either. Thanks for everyone's help! -Ivan --- On Sat, 8/16/08, Bob Mann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Bob Mann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: catalina27-talk: Traveller To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, August 16, 2008, 2:30 AM Ivan, I probably have the old cars if you want to fix yours - just the cost of shipping. The reason I have the old cars is I upgraded to the Garhauer traveller about 2 years ago. Money well spent! Of course, which traveller do you have? I had the cabin-top version. While you are at it, look into Garhauer's adjustable jib-sheet cars. Another $350 or so, but it will also give you that extra edge if you really want to be a serious racer.

I remember reading about some repair that members have made to the rollers, but don't know how to access the webpage for the history of these posts. So I am looking for a little help, the big guy upstairs knows I need more than a little though. First thing, how do I view the history of posts if at all? Secondly, this is probably the original car, does anyone have any suggestions for repairing it? And if so, what is the process for the repair, where do you suggest getting the parts? Lastly, (for now) I would like a better,(read more easily controllable) traveller system. I like the way the one on catalinadirect looks with the 3 : 1 pulley system and the ball bearing car. Has anyone upgraded to this system, and how do you like it. I know there are a lot of racers on here and I am trying to get my baby ready to be a competable racer. Is this a good system to upgrade to or is there some other system that would be suited for racing? I also singlehand a lot too so ease of use could play a role in the decision making process. Thanks -Ivan
