traveler brackets for teh hatch area

[Dr. C.O. Magee]

I am looking for the brackets that attaches to the traveler over the hatch. When I purchased the boat, the traveler was moved to the stern. I want to restore it to the hatch area and need the brackets upon which the traveler attaches. If anyone knows where I can find them I would appreciate it, or if anyone has a picture of them I can make a pair. Thanks, drco@juno.com

You don't give the model or year of your Ericson. However, if you search this site you will find photos of brackets in connection with the replacement of my traveler. They look like they are made of aluminum plate and shouldn't be too hard for a machine shop to make. If recommend, however, that the brackets be a four sided box instead of being open on one side (for added strength).

Goeff, thanks for the info. I will look at the pictures of other brackets. My boat is an Ericson 27, ' '71 model.
