traveler

Look at these photos! At first glance, you might think our traveler ends were made of easily shirred granite or even mica. But no, it appears to be horribly corroded aluminum. So, what to do? These photos are from our 1973 C&C39 and show the port and starboard end "caps" (for lack of...

We are refitting a 1973 C&C 39. Our traveler appears to have serious metal corrosion on the large metal end caps (not sure what to call these) at the starboard and port ends, where the blocks are affixed. These are also the terminus at each end for the furthers that the main traveling blocks can...

Hey all, I just purchased new halyards and sheets for my '84 Hunter 31. These are all very nice and I look forward to getting them installed this spring. However, I need to get new lines for the traveler. This boat has a traveler on the coachroof just in front of the companionway hatch...

The port side end cap that secures the line on my traveler broke beyond repair, the starboard side is shown below. Anyone know where I can get a replacement, or have ideas on how to fashion one? I may try to make a pair out of hardwood if I can't find the part. I'm not interested in spending...

Good Day. We have taken possession of our 2001 C310 hull number 63 and it has arrived in Ottawa. As we get ready to launch I am realizing that the running rigging needs a fair amount of TLC. At minimum we will be replacing the Main and Genoa Halyards and the Traveler and likely the main and...

Hello everyone, We own a 25' sloop, a Universal Marine (St. Pete) Montego 25. It has a traveler track mounted just in front of the companionway entrance, and the boom is sheeted midway back from the mast. I replaced the cam fiddle block that one uses to set and trim the main, as well as the...

Ok you sailors of old boats. I have a traveler car that is showing it's age (gouges on both sides of bale). I want to have a backup so that if it wears through the bail I am not totally at a loss securing the Main. Posted on Parts Search but thought I might reach more skilled sailors on "Ask all...

I decided to replace my OEM traveler on my 1984 Catalina 30 with the flat mid boom traveler upgrade from Catalina Direct. It's an impressive piece of equipment. Unfortunately, the starboard teak block it mounts on is split and rotted inside. I think it is called a horse block. I have searched...
