Harken 18mm Switch Battcar — M12 Stud for C-Tech Batten
Favored by skippers and crew, Harken Battcar systems let you raise, douse, and reef the main instantly from the cockpit, even when close reaching in a big breeze. Harken's award-winning Switch T-Track Battcar system cuts the stack height of mainsails by half, making it much easier for crew to put on sail covers and to connect/disconnect halyards. This simple, yet sophisticated patented switch system neatly stacks cars side-by-side on top of the boom.
Harken now offers an option that allows C-Tech batten receptacles to be used with Battcar systems. The pintles have shoulders that protect the threads from bending, making them more robust. The 18 mm system is designed for monohulls 11–13.5 m (37–45 ft) or multihulls 9–10.5 m (30–35 ft) in standard configuration, with a high-load variant available for larger vessels.
