Traveler

(25 products)

The traveler is an essential sailing accessory that significantly improves control over the mainsail. Its adjustability allows for precise adjustment of the sail shape, thus contributing to effective sail trim—ideal for racing and cruising sailors alike.

  • Functionality and application of the Traveller

    A traveler consists of a track with a slide that shifts the mainsail's furling point from windward to leeward. The traveler sheet, which is adjustable on both sides, allows the angle of attack of the sheet on the boom to be changed to make the sail more or less full. This allows the pressure in the mainsail to be precisely regulated, optimizing the ride in different wind conditions.

  • Safety and versatility of the Traveller

    In addition to improving sailing performance, the traveler also increases safety on board by making it easier to control the boat. Especially with self-tacking jibs, there are special headsail travelers that assist in tacking the headsail and ensure smooth maneuvering.

  • Manufacturers and modern designs

    Well-known manufacturers of travelers include Harken, Sprenger, Pfeiffer, and Lewmar. Modern models are usually mounted on ball bearings, which allows for particularly easy and precise adjustment. Traveler tracks and slides are also used as batten-and-traveler systems for furling fully battened mainsails.
