Hi folks, looking through threads I see there are many threads on travellers but they are as varied as the boats we own.
I'm wondering if anyone knows what traveller control-ends would be a fairly drop-in replacement for the stock ones? Pretty sure no upgrades have ever been done to my traveller in any way, and it's a bear pulling the mainsheet in during a heavy breeze. I'd like to upgrade to one with two sheaves on each side for added purchase, and maybe even replace the car as well. The track itself seems serviceable enough, if not as pretty as a new / re-anodized one. Any other caveats here I haven't thought of?
edit: or at the very least, is it possible to replace the shaves on the stock cars/ends? the ones on my car are cracked and don't turn at all - not sure if they ever did.
