Harken Battcars Technical Information

Determine your sailboat sail area
1. Sail Area. Your boat's sail area determines the size of the batten traveler system. Rig Dimensions
			Maximum sail area
Maximum boat length			Monohull				Multihull				System
ft	m		ft2		m2		ft2		m2

35	10.7		350		32		275		25		AA
48	14.6		600		56		500		46		A
60	18.3		900		83		700		65		B
80	24		1500		139		1250		116		C


2. Cars Call your sailmaker for information on the number and configurations of cars required. Each system needs one headboard assembly, the correct number of batten end cars, and short luff cars. Your sail will need modification.

3. Track Use the chart below to determine the correct number of track sections.

4. Spars with Internal Groove Each size system offers slugs that fit flat or round mast grooves. Mounting kits include enough slugs to fit one track, plus fasteners, Loctite and a connector slug. Order one mounting kit for each track section.

5. Spars without Internal Groove If your mast does not have an internal sail track attach a conventional Harken traveler track by drilling and tapping the spar. System A uses 2720 low beam track with 2724 splice links; System B uses 1616 low-beam track with 1619 splice links; System C uses 3154 low-beam track or 3162 Air Track with 3153 splice links. Order low beam traveler endstops.
