Take a look at the Garhauer straight track traveler. The problem with the curved track traveler is it's loaded with friction because of the pulling motion on the car. As the car is pulled past center the load tends to tip the car and the load is on a couple of rubber rollers, which over time lose their consistency. My end blocks were in poor shape so I had Garhauer build me a triple set up. The first time I used it I didn't like the performance and I then did what I should have done in the first place -- I sold it and bought the straight track traveler and mounted it on the teak blocks -- they look more nautical!! With the straight track traveler the pulling motion is horizontal and all the ball bearing in the car stay in contact with the track. You can adjust your traveler with one finger. With the curved track,Ii had to put my foot on the cabin to adjust it.
Rose8878: To reduce your cost you might consider selling the curved track. There is a market for them. You could go on the C30 national group website and indicate you have one for sale. I don't know why anyone would want it but they do. In addition to selling the traveler, I also sold a 150 jib. I used the $$ to go toward a 135 high cut but after a few sails I decided I didn't like it and sold that also and bought a 135 sweeper. My wife finally said "no more buying of sails!!"
