On the 34 (like my current 42), the traveler and main sheet are located at the companionway. This means someone needs to be dedicated to the position (that is, the driver can’t handle it without leaving the wheel). If a crew member must attend to the main any way, the traveler controls are right there and easily operated. I did not see much benefit for the high price.

You save one hand in the process. Marek From: Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2017 09:31 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Matthew L. Wolford Subject: Re: Stus-List traveller track/cars Harken vs others I had a windward sheeting car on my 34 and believe they’re overrated. Just my two cents.

As they say in their ads, once you raced with one, you would never go back. If you are cost conscious, go for Garhauer; there is hardly better value (not to mention that they usually bend over backwards to accommodate your needs).
