Re: Stus-List Matching Traveller Track Dimensions 29 Mark II
Hi Eugene, It was the number 1 (for boats 26-36 ft), so plenty strong with the cleats on the traveller car. I got the riser bar from a machine shop and the 1/4 thickness was just enough to clear the bridgedeck. The Harken windward car is very nice for racing, but at the time that option was way more expensive if i did not want to go undersized. the Lewmar worked better than my actual original Harken with the cleats at each end of the track. I liked that the cleats were on the car with the Lewmar traveller. Maybe you could use an other traveller track instead for riser but i ran into the clearance issus tightening the new track with the butyl tape oozing out...lesson learned! It was a pain to remove, clean and run to the machine shop at the last minute to get the riser bar and start over the installation. the 1/4 riser keeps the track low and that was my goal. My old boat is still at my marina, i could get a picture tomorrow if you want.

They have a 0, 1 and 2, but it's not clear which would be the best fit (guessing the 1). I'm assuming you got the aluminum riser bar from some place like Grainger or Home Depot? I do have a drill press so that shouldn't be an issue.

The installation is simple, you cut the track to lenght, and the bolts slide into the new tracks so you can use the existing holes. Fairly easy DIY project. I did have to had a ¼ inch thick, alumimun flat bar to make it clear the recessed. Writing this i remember now the worst was to drill that flat bar to fit existing holes… yeah without a pressdrill it took some patience to punch and drill... good luck!

Re: Stus-List Matching Traveller Track Dimensions 29 Mark II
I solved this problem on my LF38 by buying two Harken tracks and mounting one above the other--this provided enough clearance for the Harken car to work...

Re: Stus-List Matching Traveller Track Dimensions 29 Mark II
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.

Garhauer is another option. Another lister figured out a way to have Garhauer modify their MT-1 system to fit the 29-2. The issues were the narrowness of the channel in the bridge deck in which the traveller sits and the need to raise their standard track by 1/4". I went for a variation of his idea (I wanted the cam cleats on the car, the other lister on the coaming). If you're interested I can forward off-list an email thread.
