Upgrade H28.5 Traveler

[Michael O']

Go with Garhauer

I upgraded my traveler on our H'31 two summers ago and my wife thinks I'm a genius! The people at Garhauer will cut the replacement track to fit your boat and drill the holes exactly where the old ones were - so it will fit perfectly.We bought the Garhauer MT-2 Mainsheet Traveler and now it takes NO effort to control the boom in any wind. My spouse was so used to tugging with all her might that the first time she used the new system she almost flew out of the cockpit because it was so easy.Garhauer is MUCH cheaper than Harken with excellent quality. Nice family run shop, too.

Garhauer Traveler

I installed a Garhauer MT2 on my Hunter 30 and have crossed Lake Michigan twice with the equipment. Boat handling has improved and the unit has not jammed in heavy weather. I sent the old track to the company and they drilled the holes and matched the curve of the track. If you are going to upgrade, you might want to add a new Garhauer vang. They all work together very well.
