I looked into the harken systems and surprisingly, they were considerably more expensive though their winch prices are more than competitive!! I’ve had good luck with both companies :)

(at least it was free when I got mine). I strongly second the Garhauer recommendation, Mine is working fine after more than 12 years. Though I got the same traveler as the Catalina 36, so it does not work at the design limits. Garhauer is also heavier than Harken, but you have to have everything else 110% perfect for that to make a difference, in racing. Leslie.

It fits the head of the installation bolts so they can slide anywhere along the track. No filling and redrilling - they can match the original bolt spacing - easy, quick install. sam On Oct 13, 2018, at 7:13 AM, Chris Graham via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: I need to first replace the main traveler system.

A laminate main would improve that some more. And hopefully reduce the “bubble” at the luff. sam On Oct 12, 2018, at 5:03 PM, Sam Salter <sam.c.sal...@gmail.com> wrote: Chris, When I bought the 26, It came with a 150 Dacron genoa and a Dacron main. After a few years I upgraded to new Dacron sails and changed the main to a 135. Later I changed the Genoa to a 135 laminate sail from Evolution Sails in Toronto.Both upgrades improved performance (after all it is a sail boat), but the laminate sail was such a difference that I think I would go with a 110 if I was doing it again.I still have the new Dacron main but I might go with a laminate one day. Best upgrades:New sailsFolding propSelf tailers (The folding prop might have given me more speed than the new sails) sam C&C 26 Liquorice Ghost Lake Alberta On Oct 12, 2018, at 8:51 AM, Chris Graham via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Thank you Sam! This 26' could be dropped in tomorrow. Most issues are cosmetic with the exception of one stanchion and either the water fill or septic pump out cap (don't want to confuse the two) LOL So some recoring in the spring but I enjoy that kind of work and it really is minimal. Other than that, shes good to go. Thanks for the input. Main sail has two reef points which I am thankful for.
