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. I bought my kit from this place in Canada: https://www.blyacht.com/fr/ensembles-chariot-et-rail-de-lewmar.html Bruno Lachance Bécassine, 33 mkII New-Richmond, Qc From: efo...@gmail.com Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2016 08:39:19 -0500 Subject: Re: Stus-List Matching Traveller Track Dimensions 29 Mark II To: bruno_lacha...@hotmail.com CC: cnc-list@cnc-list.com
Hi Bruno, Which size did you use? 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. Thanks, GeneC&C 29-IIHawk On Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 3:58 PM, Bruno Lachance <bruno_lacha...@hotmail.com> wrote: hi Eugene, On my previous boat, a 29 mkII, i replaced the mainsheet traveller with this kit from Lewmar : http://www.lewmar.com/node/14612?v=26085 It works very well, it’s powerful so you will love to play with it! i bet you were not into those pin stoppers...and the price is good compared to a similar Harken setup. 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!

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.
