Harken 26mm Flange T-Track — Bond
The 26mm Flange T-Track Bond is a critical component of Harken's Switch Battcar system, which cuts sail stack height in half by automatically splitting cars onto two tracks. This innovative system lets you raise, douse, and reef the main instantly from the cockpit, even when close reaching in a big breeze. Battcar systems outperform in-mast or in-boom furling, cost far less, and sails don't need to be recut.
The track is machined or extruded from 6061-T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodized for a long-lasting surface. Clear-anodized aluminum is available, but provides less protection than hardcoat anodizing. The 26mm flange track is available in bond and bolt-down versions. The bond track is joined to the mast with a structural adhesive to reduce weight aloft and eliminates the majority of track fasteners for a lighter-weight system. This approach is ideal for applications where minimizing weight at the masthead is critical.
