Great Article in good old boat magazine!

[chuckwayne]

Our own Dave Lochner is featured in the current GOB with an article on maintaining travelers, an important but often neglected piece of gear. Well written and illustrated, I've experienced a small boat traveler explosion, must be far worse on a big boat,
Thanks, Dave!

You know, I downloaded that as a free issue download, and loved the article, because I have one of those Harken travelers, but didn't realize @dlochner Dave wrote it. Thanks, great job!

@chuckwayne and @jviss Thank you.

For those who prefer to watch than read, there is a companion video.

Thanks! Helpful video and article.
Our 1988 (OEM) Harken looks a lot like your example.
Our track has some nicks on it and the car looks kind of beat up, and our present rehab project calls for a new Harken traveler/car, but I may rebuild the old one before selling it.
BTW, I have been a subscriber to GOB for a long time, and several years ago they even featured a picture of our Olson under sail.

Good Old Boat is the North American companion read to Practical Boat Owner, published in the UK. (personal opinion, of course)
