[quote=jonathan162]I'd be very interested in knowing whether it came out of the factory with that traveler. The early years, including the very short time that Whaler and Ericson made them, are quite hazy. My SC19 came with a yellow mesh tramp that wraps around both crossbeams, which means that it inherited the wire traveler from the original telescoping SC20. So it's not clear to me whether your boat was built with that Harken traveler or it was converted somewhere along the way - something I'd really like to do, since I hate the wire traveler. (But the cost of that track...)
I assume that Tom impressed upon you the importance of resealing the mast and ran down the procedure. One page I've taken from his book is replacing every pop rivet with machine screws (where it's possible to do so).<!-- editby --><em>Edited by jonathan162 on Aug 25, 2023 - 02:21 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
