Traveler parts and thwart - HELP? was created by USABMCC6
Today the wind was stormy in key largo during our race and my thwart pulled out. I also lost the black end to my old style ca 1974 traveler. (25K gusts, I know, I should have rigged the short sail - it didnt look that windy) Do any of you have this part? Also any advice on best place to find a new thwart, black end and the nylon beads that go in the traveler?
Hope to see you all in Florida..

Hi Bruce,
I happen to have a complete spare traveler I can sell you cheap. The later ones where made much better and don't fail. Also, Brian Hampton has been making the thwart and can provide you with a replacement.
Send me an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and I will put you in touch with him and send you a few pictures of the traveler.

Hi Chris, I cannot email you at this address. Please contact me directly? You can easily find my address by googling my name at FIU.
