32 mm Traveler Kit - 4:1 Purchase, 31 - 44 ft Boats - Refer to Table

Need to replace your mainsail traveler but haven't because the project seems too confusing and complex?
A traveler is important for safety and performance, yet it is often the most neglected, worst performing sailing hardware on a boat. These kits make replacing your traveler easy!

These kits restore (and often exceed) your traveler's original performance by taking the guesswork out of selecting the right parts.
Now, all you need to do is select a kit, an appropriate length of the matching size track, the correct fasteners, and you're done! It's that simple!
Note that if your current traveler uses Harken metric (32mm) track, and is in good shape, you can use your current track instead of purchasing and installing a new piece. Read the Instruction Manual (below) for advice if you decide to re-use your original track.

To Select the Right Kit —
Simply take your boat's length and whether your mainsheet attaches at the end of the boom (End-Boom Sheeting) or somewhere along the boom (Mid-Boom Sheeting) and, using the accompanying Specification Table, determine if this 32 mm kit is appropriate for your length of boat.
This 32 mm Kit only comes with a 4:1 purchase system, which is almost always the best choice for boats in this size range.

Alternatively, you can use your mainsail's area and follow the same procedure.
If the two methods disagree, you should defer to the mainsail area.

If your boat's mainsail is larger than the maximum area recommended, you can assemble your own traveler system by selecting components from Harken's 32 mm CRX, 42 mm Mini-Maxi, or 64 mm Maxi offerings. HOWEVER, we urge you to call us instead at 800-426-6930, so we can help you assemble the system best suited for your boat with much less effort and hassle on your part.

Selecting the right track —
If your original traveler track is Harken 32 mm (metric) track and still in good shape, you can re-use that track, or select one of Harken's current metric CB tracks and not have to drill any new holes for mounting.
If you are replacing a non-metric track (typically with 4" hole spacing), you should consider Harken's 32 mm track with 4" spacing or their 32 mm high-beam track with variable fastener spacing to exactly match the fastener spacing of your original track.
See Related Products, below, for links to all these track choices.
