Garhauer both used a “high” track and drilled a custom hole pattern when they made the traveler for my 38 mk2. The first was to get clearance for the traveler car in the channel on the bridgedeck, the second was to match the hole pattern in the bridgedeck and backing plate that was used for the old 70s vintage traveler. They also made custom turning blocks and cam cleats to facilitate trimming the traveler from behind the helm when single handing. And, BTW, the custom work was NC.
I agree with Joel, you can’t beat Garhauer. Works as well as Harken, and costs C-notes instead of G-notes. Might be a pound heavier than the Harken – but then it is a 15000 pound boat, so no biggie. And as cool as a Harken windward sheeting car is, that car alone costs more than my entire Garhauer traveler; and for that much, I can manage to release the leeward line when tacking.

Wolford <wolf...@erie.net> Subject: Re: Stus-List Traveler for C&C 35 Mk II I replaced the traveler on my 42 with a Schaefer traveler and am very happy with it. The track and car are robust, and the operation is smooth. If lining up old holes is an issue, you can call Schaefer and purchase a length of anodized track that has not been drilled (I did this for the baby stay track on my previous boat). I took the old track and the replacement track to a local machine shop, and for a nominal fee had the new track cut and drilled to fit perfectly.

SS balls. End controls gave it a 3:1 ratio. Moving it was like driving over a bunch of potholes, with all the tires flat. Found a Harken 32mm track with 4” centres drilled, same as the Kenyon. The Harken track uses 5/16” FH screws, the Kenyon ¼”. So I have tapped out the holes to suit. Also 4:1 HL Car, and ESP End controls. The original track was sitting in a 4” x 1-3/4 Aluminium channel, that unfortunately was not wide enough for the new car. I have a strip of EDPE (?) anyway, white plastic 2” x 1” thick, that will go under the new track, and gives the height needed for clearance. Also moving the cam cleats to the cabin top either side of the companionway. Should be done in a week or so. ( I had better be, im launching today.)

The wheels are worn and do not turn easily any more. Has anyone found a suitable replacement system or parts to repair the existing system?
