I replaced my Schaeffer traveler with a Harken traveler, many years ago. I kept the aluminum channel, and used a high beam track. I only have a 4:1 purchase, and no complaints from the crew. The crew needed to use a winch to move the Schaeffer traveler. No flexing observed with the new arrangement. If you still have the Schaeffer traveler on your boat, I recommend the Harken as a good replacement.
