Hi!

I will get a custom sail made for a modified Nacra 6.0, but target would be to reuse the old Harken traveller system.

My sailmaker asks how long the harken traveller track is ? and how big the kette is ? would an 8mm rope with covering be ok?

The boat and sail is still in a container, so cannot simple unroll and look at a sail myself! :-(

Thanks to anyone taking the efforts to help!

Hm... no Nacra 6.0 sailors around? Maybe my English wasn't clear enough: I am looking for the length of the traveller track which is attached to the mainsail and where you can change the sheeting angle and therefore the shape of the lower part of the main.

I had a new main made last year and it was really just a case of unscrewing the track from the clew of the sail then re-attaching it to the new one. I had the same question that you have now but in the end it didn't matter. The sailmaker should know how long to make the fiberglass "bolt rope" that the track gets screwed into BUT... my track is 28 inches if it helps.. the glass rope is longer by 3 inches or so.

thank you ptp,

so the 'rope' actually is a glassfibre tube? any idea of the diameter?

any clue why the track has to be shorter (3 inches)?

kind regards

dirk

I don't think the track needs to be shorter- just what happened I guess. the glass "rope" is maybe 3/8 inch diameter

There is NO such thing as a Rope on a boat Pat! shame on you! Dont make me go up there this week and smack you around your boat! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

what about the bolt rope in the sail? you wanna me call dat "bolt line?" How about bolt "twine?" I should probably replace the yarn in my mainsheet system!

thanks robi,

very constructive critic!

thank you ptp - for a real contribution! :-)

he will end up in the water several times later this week and pay for his "know-it-all" attitude!!!

It was an inside joke with Pat (PTP) sorry if you misunderstood me.
