I don’t know if they are “better”, but they are very reasonably priced and have
very good products. not to mention that since they are a small shop, you can
talk to them and get semi-custom solutions at the same price as what is in
their catalogue.
On top of that it seems that they do sail themselves; or at least know what
they are talking about.
Btw. some of the high-end stuff (some of the very lightweight blocks, as an
example) is probably much better somewhere else. Garhauer stuff is very good,
but it is not bleeding edge.
A disclaimer: I have no involvement with them, but I have bought a number of
blocks from them (lately, a great 3:1/6:1 mainsheet fiddle block arrangement).
just my $0.02 (CAD)

David,
I'm guessing the original is a Hall Spars vang. They still sell the same one!
Just curious - why is the Garhauer better?

That reminds me. I replaced the spring type vang that was on my 34/36 when I
bought it with a Garhauer rigid vang (much much better) and so I have the old
one in my shed. Does anyone want it? Dave

Very happy with the quality and service from Garhauer.
I also worked with Guido. I replaced my traveler this spring. I sent them
my old track and they used it as a drill template, so installation was easy
with no new holes to drill.
The Garhauer cars are low friction, and high quality. With the increased
mechanical advantage and continuous line it was a major improvement for modest
sum.

Or better yet, talking to him about replacing the traveller. Their new
cars are supposedly really good.

Burt,
You should have several options.
You might consider talking to Guido or Mark at Garhauer Marine. They may
be able to make you a new and better car for a reasonable price.
I'm assuming there are sheaves on the ends of the car? How much room is
between the sheaves? Enough to install a padeye with two fasteners? That
would hold up to the loads better than a single point attachment system.
Your description doesn't sound like a Harken car. More like a Merriman
or a Schaefer.

Took my salvage project to Newport this weekend. Beautiful sail down on
Saturday. Front rolled through Saturday night and tested my anchor and ground
tackle at the anchorage near Ida Lewis Yacht club. All worked fine, thank you.
Cozy first ever evening on the boat with the admiral. Very enjoyable
considering the stark accommodations. Learned a few things about life aboard
the new to us 33 footer. Only real issue was the traveler broke over-night. The
broken component is a stainless steel eye bolt in the center of the car that is
used to attach the mainsheet block. It goes through the car and is secured by a
nut on the bottom. I am not sure this is original design or hardware. Can’t
find a traveler car on the interwebs that looks anything like mine. I assumed
it was Harken as everything else on the boat is. It is a very simple 4:1
arrangement with 8 captive rollers that ride on the track. The hole that the
eyebolt goes through looks like it was threaded once. I ended up using a 5/16
stainless eye bolt that was a close enough fit but it is definitely a temporary
solution. Does anyone have a source that might have the correct components or
am I looking at a new traveler track, ends, blocks and car?
