Harken
Mainsail Handling Battcar System - Overview |
Tame your main - Handling a big mainsail? Wrestling a flogging main
onto the boom? Raising the genoa, but not the main
when it’s windy? Sailing solo?
A Harken Battcar System along with full-length
battens helps raise, douse, and reef with ease and
acts as extra crew if you’re sailing shorthanded.
Battcar systems outperform in-mast or in-boom
furling, cost less, and you don’t need to
recut your sail.
Details Make the Difference:
Cars and Track Built to Last
Made of one-piece, high-grade aluminum, cars and track are strong, lightweight,
and will last for years. They are deep-saturation hardcoat-anodized with
a black
additive to resist the corrosive effects of salt, sun, and long-term
wear.
Slider cars—a Cost Effective Way to Tame Your Main
Low-friction plastic slider insert lets you raise and lower sails without
battling
bolt ropes or slugs that stick in mast groove.
CB Captive Ball Cars—The Ultimate in Low Friction
Torlon® ball bearings circulate smoothly for fast sail hoists, douses,
and reefs.
Captive bearings allow cars to easily roll off the track for cleaning
and
maintenance.
Batten toggle moves freely in all directions to prevent the sail from
binding when reefing under load.
Mix CB and Slider Battcars
CB and Slider Battcar systems use the same track. Mix Slider cars with
CB cars
to get the perfect system for your boat and budget.
Features:
1. Quick Sail Removal - Cars and sails slide off the track by removing the screwpi
endstop - no tools needed.
2. Easy Mast-up Installation - Battcar track is designed to screw directly into
slugs that slide into the mast groove - no drilling or tapping.
