True, but then I'd have to re-bed a new track, and probably drill new holes. Garhauer's website doesn't really have any good photos of their traveler's, so it's hard to judge the installation. Also, unless I'm missing it, they don't have any high breaking load shackles, the pricest one I could find on their website was $11 and it looked like the flat metal type instead of rounded. I bent a flat metal one from West Marine on the first day out.

I have really enjoyed reading & learning from this thread. My Q?: On Chris's setup, which looks the cleanest and easiest, it appears the load from the mainsheet is fairly removed from the traveler rack and now stresses the vertical glass. Is it strong enough to carry the load of the main? I can visualize a wide aluminum backing plate.
