[C38] Travelers

[David Epstein]

Steve,

The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to upgrade to the Garhauer 
straight traveller, which is considerably better than the original 
curved version.  With the straight traveller, you can travel up and 
down without changing the sheet tension.   Garhauer made some 
"custom" stainless steel adapters for my '38 to accommodate the shape 
of the cabin top (see the attached photos).  You may need to modify 
your dodger but IMHO, it is well worth it.

The folks at Garhauer are really great to work with, and the 
cost/performance ratio can't be beat.
