FWIW, I have a Schaefer traveler and am very pleased it. It is robust but easy to operate. Don’t know about your hole spacing, but for my previous boat Schaefer sold me a length of undrilled track for my babystay so I could match it to the existing holes.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Traveler for C&C 35 Mk II Sean, I have Lewmar Ocean 1 ball bearing genoa cars and a Harken traveler. In my opinion, the Harken is superior. Harken does make a high beam variable spacing traveler track (Harken R32HB) which may fit your application. Harken tends to be a "bit" more pricey, however. Here's a link to Touche's traveler setup: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsX0dGcEV2Mm1QNUE It has a 4:1 endless traveler sheet which passes through bulkhead mounted swivel cam cleats. It can be operated easily from forward or aft of the traveler. While I don't have experience with Garhauer travelers, many on the list speak highly of them. I have other Garhauer items on my boat and am positively impressed with them. I have also had Garhauer make custom items for both my boat and clients boats. Good stuff. A traveler that operates well is, in my opinion, a safety item. Many port/starboard collisions are partially to blame because a traveler would not drop quickly or a mainsheet would not release easily. The port boat was not able to turn down due to being extremely powered up. Dennis C.

What was the turnaround time like on your order? The Lewmar looks like it could be a quick “off the shelf” solution though. PS.

He made the traveler for my 38 with a tall track and the car sized to fit the well in the bridge deck. The hole spacing was made to match the pattern of the OEM traveler track. The length was custom for the boat. The turning blocks and cleats for the 6:1 adjuster lines were angled to allow adjusting from the helm when single handing. No extra charge for all the custom work. And it probably cost less than half the cost of the Lewmar traveler.

How well did the Lewmar fit down in the original track recess and does it clear the cockpit lockers on either side no problem? Would you happen to have any pictures?
