Traveller for main sheet

Postby Robfaith » Thu Sep 13, 2012 8:09 am

Does anyone know how we can source parts for the one inch ibeam main traveller, such as cars and stops. We lost our starboard one during an unintentional jibe while bringing Ginger home to her mooring in Maclean from Yamba. A great trip with speeds under sail of 6 knots and accompanying dolphins!

Take the car if you still have it to your local whitworths or bias. I think ronstan still make the same dimension track as what is on my mk2.

Sounds like a great sail!

I think the cars are still available. I could not find the correct end stop (tried Bias and Whithworths), but one one which fitted (Whitworths from memory) and looks fine, except when compared with the other end, is a little shorter and more rounded.

Cheers, John

Tales (MkIII) had a Fico traveller and it was the first thing I replaced because the Ronstan car would not fit the Fico track. (Car was damaged beyond repair).

Good idea to measure it before buying anything.

Cheers,
