HARKEN YACHT FITTINGS 40mm Switch
The Battcar Switch system cuts sail stack height in half by automatically splitting cars onto two tracks, providing an efficient mainsail handling solution. The switch system track is machined or extruded from 6061-T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodized for a long-lasting surface. Clear-anodized aluminum is available as an alternative, though it provides less protection than hardcoat anodizing. This asymmetrical switch design allows the mainsail and trysail to share a single track, greatly reducing weight aloft. The switch installs above the standard system and provides a crossover for trysail cars to utilize the mainsail track. Trysail cars are loaded at deck level and travel past the gooseneck and flaked mainsail onto the mainsail track. Switching of the cars is totally automatic; only trysail cars can travel onto the trysail track, while the mainsail cars pass through to the standard switch and storage tracks. The compound track bend is determined by the installer. Cars must not be under load in curved sections.
