2010 Marina Cortez San Diego, CA
We have decided to move up our traveler replacement project.
We have ordered up a new dodger for our dodger frame and that has put pressure on us to find the right placement of the traveler lines coming into the cockpit. They will be going through the dodger. We do not want to have a new dodger with holes for the current lines and then have to patch them and make new holes for new lines a few inches over. Something like that so we will just get going on the new traveler.
Debbie has taken the lead on this project.
The new traveler is a Harken Traveler 6.1 and Debbie got the rest of the parts Saturday at Sailing Supply minus the traveler track.
Debbie has already purchased most of the traveler parts from Sailing Supply here in San Diego over the last few months. We only have a few more parts to order and I think Debbie is doing that this week or next. The track will need to be removed and then Sailing Supply will bend the new one to match. It looks like there is a slight bend to it.

HK3157 Track trim end

Last night I removed the starboard teak board from the companionway hatch. It was easier than I thought it was going to be. Saturday I will remove the other and then I would expect to have access to removing the traveler.
