CALENDAR Alerion 33 — Onne van der Wal Photo Make cruising safer and easier A low-friction Harken CB (Captive Bearing) Battcar system lets you quickly raise, reef and douse your full-battened main on all points of sail from the safety of the cockpit; a dependable ‘extra hand’ when you’re sailing alone or with inexperienced crew—no matter what the weather. Harken Battcar systems cost far less than in-boom or in-mast furling. These systems must sacrifice sail area and efficiency to furl properly, but a main with Battcars has plenty of power to drive the boat through the water. Sails reef quickly and easily to keep your crew safe. Harken Battcars are easy to install without hiring a professional rigger. Cars roll smoothly off the track for cleaning and maintenance. Tech Tip: Our low-friction Battcars drop the main so fast, we advise a wrap on the halyard winch to slow your take down and maintain control. 1251 E.
