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.
The one-piece solid aluminum construction is lightweight and strong. The free-rolling ball bearing cars let you hoist and reef the main quickly on all points of sail. Cars are easily removed from the track by freeing the screwpin endstop and sliding them off. Stainless steel wire guides keep the balls captive when the car is off the track.
Battcars use high-strength Torlon® ball bearings. Captive balls make cars easy to load and maintain. Wire guides circulate bearings smoothly.
