traveller

Good morning all, Is there anyone with an E27 who would be so kind as to shoot a couple of pictures of your boom, traveller and mainsheet rigging? We haven't changed anything since we bought the boat. To clarify, we brought our boat home the middle of May, then July 1st it went into the shop...

Cam cleats are wearing out and I am looking at replacing. Looking for any ideas that might be out there. This is the original unit:

The PO of my E35-2 moved the Main sheet traveller from the bridge deck just in front of the pedestal, to the forward end of the cockpit.<O:p</O:p I had originally thought of returning it to its right full place, giving unobstructed access to the cabin. But, as I intend to use the boat for...

I'm looking into upgrading the original traveler on my 1983 E28+. The current position is right at the entrance to the companionway and I'd like to move it to the cabintop if that's possible without causing any big problems. The only reason I have for wanting to do that is to get more seating...

There is a molded trough with drainage at cockpit seat level for the track. I suspect a previous owner fitted this entire trough with a piece of mahogony to raise the track so the car would travel unhindered. It was poorly bedded and trapped moisture. Rainwater soaked this wood and leaked...

Hello All, I am starting to get serious about taking my E38 apart to upgrade the traveller. I previously thought that the traveller was a Schaeffer but now I think just the blocks on it are Schaefer the unit itself appears to be a Ronstan. The traveller "track" seems to be installed in an...

This one was easy cheesy. Basically just put triples on the traveller car, then drill and tap threads to mount the fairlead and single blocks.

Hello All, I have a Schaefer traveller on my E38. The plastic sheaves on the cheek blocks on the traveller ends are in tough shape and the traveller itself could use some freshening. Are direct replacements available from Schaefer or other sources? Are traveller tracks "universal" to some...

I have a E32-200 I bought this January, and this weekend I noticed that my traveller seems to be pulling up the screwed-down cover over the top of the companionway hatch. See photo: The visible crack in the gelcoat at the corner is present on both sides. I wonder what I should do about...

I am installing a dodger on my '84 Ericson 26. In the process of setting up the mainsheet traveller to better accommodate the dodger, I have discovered that all the screws used to fasten the traveller to the cabin top have seized. Two of them have already snapped off, and will need to be drilled...

I have 1977 Ericson 35-2. I would like to move the traveller from the cockpit to just forward of the Main Hatch. I had planned on using the Gaurhauer traveller system with thier stand off brackets. With proper backing plates, do you think that the cabin top structure can support the traveller...

I'm replacing the traveller on my E-27 with a new Harken setup, including risers, track, etc. Has anyone made this upgrade, and what problems did you encounter? Specifically, I'm planning on using the full Harken 4' flat track section ( #1511.4), and not cut it to 41" as on my current setup...
