Traveler Car Replacement - 73 Sabre 28-1

[Summer Wind - Sabre 28]

Can anyone recommend a replacement for the traveler car on a '73 Sabre 28-1. The traveler is located on the stern of the boat making it a joy to work with (insert sarcasm here). I'm looking to retro-fit a system that would make working with the traveler smoother. I could replace the track but the current track has a slight curve.

Any thoughts and advice appreciated.

The best source of information for a question like this is the Sabre Sailboats FB group and/or the Sabre Sailboats group. Both groups have over 1,000 Sabre owners, past, present, and future. Full Disclosure, I'm also a moderator for the FB group.

I will jump over to that group to pose the Sabre question. Thank you for the reply.

Contact Garhauer for a new traveler. I sent him my old traveler track and he reproduced the curve. New one works great.
