Following up on some earlier notes: 1) your 1980 36 probably has the same track as my 1978 34, and, if so, Garhauer knows how to machine for this track (no extra cost as I recall); 2) my cars came with the E-Z Glide system (which Rick described), which in my case had ball bearings, not plastic; 3) it is not that difficult to get ball bearing cars onto the track, but you need to follow Garhauer’s instructions and be careful (you basically slide the car from Garhauer’s plastic track onto your boat track – if you screw up the alignment, ball bearings go all over the place); 4) Bill is correct that the ball bearing system on the Garhauer is not designed to operate nearly as smoothly as Harken; and 5) as a result, it is not uncommon for us to use a winch to move the car forward or backward under load. Of course, there’s a lot more load on my 42 than there was on my 34.

If you have the old Merriman H track (as I did on my 38) the will machine the car and build it with bearings appropriate for the track dimensions.

I have raced on other boats with Harken and they work great. The question as always is price. My only comment is that the Garhauer track for the jib cars seems to be different than other track sizes so make sure you get the garhauer track with the cars.

Wolford via CnC-List Sent: January-30-19 12:19 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Matthew L. Wolford Subject: Re: Stus-List Garhauer sliding jib cars I used Garhauer because Guido adapted the cars to the old track on my C&C 34. The cars were sufficiently robust to use them on my 42 Custom, so I kept them when I moved up (same old track). Two issues: 1) the cars do not roll as well as Harken (and possibly other brands), so if this issue is paramount, you may want to look at other brands; and 2) some brand name cars are big enough to accept a second sheet (temporarily). My Garhauer cars are not, which is another downside. Perhaps this has been remedied in newer designs?
