CB Cars
The free-rolling ball bearing cars let you hoist and reef the main quickly on all points of sail. The quick-release button lets you easily load and remove the mainsail. Stainless steel wire guides keep the balls captive when the car is off the track.
Web-On Headboard Plates
Aluminum web-on headboard plates are easy for sailmakers to install. Plates have radiused edges to protect the sail and fit 1 in (25 mm) webbing strap. Holes threaded into plates accept 416 cheek blocks for leech line. Web-on plates are required for the 3867 System C CB headboard car. Sold separately.
Track
Track is extruded from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and Hardkote-anodized for a hard, long-lasting surface. 3853 track mounts to mast using a unique slug system that allows mast-up installation.
For masts without internal sail track, attach 3154 or 3162 Big Boat traveler track by drilling and tapping the spar. Join track sections with splice links. Order one per track section. Order one low-beam endstop (sold in pairs). See chart below.
Use flanged track when mounting to carbon spars. Track features a groove for racing sails with boltropes or slugs.
