MAkE CRUISING SAFER AND EASIER
Add a
Harken ball bearing traveler
to your boat.
The difference in performance will be night and day.
Harken free-running travelers provide
smooth sail
control in all conditions.
Wind light? Adjust
the traveler to power up the main. Wind howling?
Safely depower by easing the car to reduce heel
and maintain speed—
faster and safer
than
releasing and retrimming the sheet.
Harken captive ball traveler cars are modular
with 2:1 to 6:1 purchases
so a small crew can play a highly loaded main-
sail.
Systems can be tailored for end-boom— mounted on bridge decks—or for mid-boom
configurations with risers and high-beam track to move the traveler out of the cockpit.

TECH TIP
To reduce heel: Slack the windward adjuster line so the
traveler car slides to the boat’s low side, depowering the
leech and spilling air from the main. After tacking make the
same adjustment. Mark both lines at the cam for no-guess
trimming when it's windy.
