We are refitting a 1973 C&C 39. Our traveler appears to have serious metal corrosion on the large metal end caps (not sure what to call these) at the starboard and port ends, where the blocks are affixed. These are also the terminus at each end for the furthers that the main traveling blocks can move.
Have you seen corrosion like this before? It was so flakey it looks more like mica or another striating stone!
Are replacements for these possible or will we have to replace the whole traveler?
Gory photos attached!
