[C38] Travelers

[Steve Smolinske]

Kerry, 
 
Would you expand on your comments about straight or curved, Im looking
into replacing the whole system, obviously the easiest is replace with
curved track and use whats on the deck, anyone have thoughts on curved
vs. straight?  Thanks.

I replaced my traveler with a Garhauer unit.  I was beautifully done and
works very well.  In fact, I didn't know what use the traveler was until
I changed for one which would move under load.  The only mistake I made
was having them duplicate the arc of the taveler.  I wish I had ordered
a straight one.  I feel it would be more usable and easier to use as a
straight traveler.  Any Ideas?  Garhauer makes a very nice unit.

Steve: Discreet Charm has a Garhauer traveler, which was a replacement
done by the previous owner. G knows the C38 and are helpful and
knowledgeable on the phone.

	My Traveler gave up the ghost yesterday, I believe it is
original equipment.   Does anyone know if a replacement is available or
do I need to upgrade and replace the track?  I couldnt find one on
Catalina Direct and there are no markings as far as part number or
manufacturer.   If it comes to replacing the system, what are your
suggestions and experiences with other systems.  I'm not excited about
filling the old holes and drilling new ones the other problem is my
dodger was made around the current lead positions for the traveler
controller lines.  Thanks.
