TRAVELLER SYSTEMS
SMOOTH CONTROL
Ronstan traveller systems deliver the performance required for
optimising sail trim, responding quickly to changing conditions and
getting the right balance from the loads on sails, rig and foils. Ronstan
systems have been put to the test by Round the World Race teams,
Vendée Globe challengers, and the professionals on the prestige
international circuits who demand the highest performance and
dependability, with no room for compromise.
Ball Bearing cars
Machined alloy car bodies provide high strength and durability with minimum
weight. Low pro昀椀le cars ensure that sheets and control lines run close to the
deck. Highly e昀케cient recirculating Torlon® ball bearing systems allow precision
adjustment and control even in the most demanding conditions.
Sliderod cars
Sliderod cars are suitable for static load applications where adjustment under
load is not required and are machined from a dedicated alloy body pro昀椀le.
Attention to detail
Car bodies are machined to precise speci昀椀cations, then honed to an exceptional 昀椀nish
before being treated and anodised for maximum corrosion protection. Stainless steel
elements are put through a special high energy 昀椀nishing process to achieve a uniquely
smooth edge and surface 昀椀nish. Spring-loaded plunger stops engage with stop holes in
tracks and can be locked in the “up” (disengaged) position.
Control accessories
Cam cleat supports can be adjusted to the optimum cleating angle. Control sheaves
provide purchase systems for mainsheet travellers and genoa sheet lead adjustment.
Ball Bearing sheave and becket addition kits are available for cars and track control
ends to provide extra control line purchase where required.
Tracks
7 track sizes are available in the standard product range, to match system
speci昀椀cations to individual requirements. Beam track options are available for
unsupported spans (cockpit, companionway, hatch, etc.). Curved track can be supplied
with bend in either horizontal or vertical plane. Minimum bend radius depends on car
length. See pages 132 & 133 for options and details.
