I did the same as Jim, except I have cam cleats as part of the turning blocks at the ends of the traveler. I like Jim's arrangement better than mine. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Sat, Apr 14, 2018 at 4:57 PM, Jim Watts via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote:

I put a Harken high-beam Big Boat track and car on the boat, wonderful difference. It works just fine in the aluminum bridge over the companionway without additional risers. I can find a parts list if interested. I had to take the bridge off the boat so I could drill out the old fasteners. That

My boat’s only a 26, but when I replaced the traveler track (6 or 8 years ago?) that’s on the bridge deck, just in front of the companionway, I put in a Harken. Hole spacing and clearance for the cars in the slot were the main considerations. Harken makes a track with a longitudinal slot running

FWIW, the traveler on my previous boat (34) and on my current boat (42) are both mounted in an aluminum traveler bridge near the companionway. I replaced the traveler on the 34 with a Harken, which worked fine (the windward sheeting car is overrated in my view). I also replaced the baby stay

We replaced the main traveler with a Garhauer. Sent the old track to Guido, he matched the mounting holes and sent the new track back. Fit perfectly. Neil Schiller Old: 1970 Redwing 35, #7 New: 1983 C 35-3, #28 Whitehall, Michigan WLYC Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 14, 2018, at 9:53 AM,

I have Lewmar line control Genoa cars and a Harken traveler. No comparison. The Harken car is 100% easier to move even under load. I wish I’d thrown some extra $$$ at the Genoa cars and gotten a Harken system. You can do what you want but I’m not a big fan of Lewmar cars. Dennis C. Touché

Hi Chuck, On my LF38, When I removed the old track several bolts broke off. I sent the old track to Garhauer to have the new track drilled with the mounting holes in different locations. Guido did this at no additional charge. I then added a piece of 1 in square aluminum tubing to raise the track

Call Garhauer. Theirs are cheaper, great quality and service is excellent. I went for a MT-1 traveller. Speak to Guido. You will need exact details of the location of the bolt holes so that they can duplicate the bolt pattern of your existing track. I will send a PM to you with a copy of my

HI from unfrozen Nova Scotia. YEAH ! Although a different boat, the tray height issue may be similar to mine. LF38 by the way. My traveller sits in section of 4” channel with very deep flange height, which would have precluded the planned Harken traveller working. I bought a piece of piece of
