Travellers
Aesthetic design, clean lines, high-tech materials and finishes all go to make this range of traveller cars a functional and practical enhancement to any sailboat. All end fittings feature a soft rubberised moulded cap, designed to withstand high impact without causing damage.
Standard travellers run on precision ground delrin balls.
A Torlon ball package is offered where higher load applications are required. Torlon balls give up to 40% more load bearing capacity. These packages are available in all three sizes and for long or short travellers.
Double take off travellers
With either shackle or toggle attachments, these allow coarse/fine tune mainsheet systems to be achieved. They can also be used with a link plate (click here) to allow for increased rolling load with the longer cars.
Control line sheaves
In sizes 2 and 3 these feature our low friction large diameter ball bearing sheave system.
Shackle take off
Feature a high load forged stainless steel pivoting shackle.
Toggle take off
Features a solid cast stainless steel upstand with a soft rubber anti-tumble bearing fitted, preventing damage when blocks are not under load. These take offs accept the swivel post from our cruiser blocks and help achieve a truly low profile system.
Cam cleats
From our Kevlar 'K' cam range. Click here for full details.
Barton travellers can be easily built up from modular components to give a wide variety of control line purchase, either cleated on track ends, traveller or remotely.
The above links explain how to make up your own individual system by putting together modular components, including a choice of three types of track.
When selecting which system will suit your requirements,
ask the following questions:
1. Size of boat?
2. Control line purchase (2:1, 3:1 or 4:1)?
3. Shackle or toggle take-off?
4. Single or double take-off?
5. Cleating on car, end fittings or remote?
6. End fitting cleats straight or angled?
