| Wasn't this post originally about a 27 traveller track? I have a 26. Replaced the original pin stop track with a Harken. It fit perfectly in the slot in the bridge deck and left plenty of room for the new harken traveller. No need for a raised traveller. The track had a slot all along the bottom, so the bolts could use the original holes. Nice solution and works great. I also have a Gaurhauer rigid boom vang and Garhauer adjustable genoa sheets - they make great stuff too. But the harken traveller fitted perfectly and no messing with bolt spacings. sam :-) C&C 26 Liquorice Ghost Lake Alberta
Sean, I have Lewmar Ocean 1 ball bearing genoa cars and a Harken traveler. In my opinion, the Harken is superior. Harken does make a high beam variable spacing traveler track (Harken R32HB) which may fit your application. Harken tends to be a "bit" more pricey, however. Here's a link to Touche's traveler setup: It has a 4:1 endless traveler sheet which passes through bulkhead mounted swivel cam cleats. It can be operated easily from forward or aft of the traveler. While I don't have experience with Garhauer travelers, many on the list speak highly of them. I have other Garhauer items on my boat and am positively impressed with them. I have also had Garhauer make custom items for both my boat and clients boats. Good stuff. A traveler that operates well is, in my opinion, a safety item. Many port/starboard collisions are partially to blame because a traveler would not drop quickly or a mainsheet would not release easily. The port boat was not able to turn down due to being extremely powered up. Dennis C.
