Our brand new removable mainsheet traveller system was showcased at the recent HISWA show held in Amsterdam at the beginning of the month. The Innovation Showcase brought together the best of the brand new products launched this year and certainly created a stir!

The removable system is based around our re-circulating ball bearing mainsheet beam track which mounts into specially designed end plates as seen in the photograph and at http://www.bartonmarine.com/news-2012/166/new-removable-mainsheet-track-system/ These are now in full production and we look forward to being able to bring you a full test report next month.

Distributor news: our Dutch and Belgian distributor, Belship has appointed a new area sales manager, Chris Heppener. Chris is a keen sailor and very knowledgeable about Barton products. We look forward to supporting him and sales manager Rene van der Laan this coming season.
