Hoping to move mainsail controls from rear of boom and cockpit to a “bridge” above the main hatch. I’ve seen photos of newer Catalina 27’s, but haven’t found parts to do it. Anyone have experience with this?

I highly recommend www.garhaurermarine.com. They have a lot of experience with all Catalinas, having been an OEM provider and also offering conversion kits. They work with you personally... very good folks. I have made many upgrades over the years to my boat with garhaurer equipment.
Here's a statement from their traveler pages:
Traveler type is determined by:
* Where traveler is located on the boat
* Where mainsheet attaches to the boom
* Length of traveler
* How the traveler is fasten to the boat

All mainsheet cars and controls are ball bearing construction.
Travelers are custom made for each boat. Customization includes:

  • Length of traveler
  • Hole spacing to match your existing holes
  • End blocks and cleats
  • Curvature if appropriate
  • Mid-boom sheeting vs. end boom sheeting
Please call 909-985-9993 to discuss the proper traveler for your boat. Shipping costs will be dependent on the traveler type, length and destination.
