Hi Gene, I don't think you can use the existing track with Harken. I have an Mk1 but I think it is the same traveler system as the MK2s from what I remember of a friend's mk2. I measured the track last year and it wasn't compatible. You can use the existing holes though. I just did a complete traveler system replacement this spring, and upgraded to the Harken windward sheeting system. Love it!
The low profile tracks holes will align with the existing holes, but the windward sheeting car won't clear the indent/space the track sits in if you go that route. I exchanged for a high profile track with variable spacing, and that fit perfectly. It was an interesting installation. The trim that is below the track on the inside is a bitch to remove, but with the right tools it is doable. Plus remembering to put on the end caps and car before you put the track down is recommended, otherwise you won't get them on afterwards. Ask me how I know... ;) If you're interested in the windward sheeting car from Harken, I do have a second brand new packaged one for sale (part no 1635) as I hard ordered one, it disappeared en route, ordered another, and then both showed up and they were not returnable. Good luck, Sophia 1978 C&C MK1 "Persistence" NYC, Toronto Original Message From: Eugene Fodor Sent: Thursday, June 2, 2016 16:16 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Matching Traveller Track Dimensions 29 Mark II Thanks folks for all the advice on my marine head. I purchased the Wilcox Crittenden Headmate kit from wet marine so wish me luck. Plan to rebuild the pump this week-end. Next thing I'd like to update is to put in is to replace the traveller stops with some actual rigging. Anyone have any experience using the existing traveller bar on their C&C 29 mark II with running rigging from Harken or Ronstan? I'm hoping the track is compatible so I don't have to rebed it.
