The main problem with them is that they are difficult to secure and easy to un-cleat. The clam cleat comes in handy in maybe only a…
Harken dominates the sailboat parts market in many areas. Travelers are no exception. Don’t think for a minute that this product is only for racers, it is for cruisers too! There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to move the traveler while under load (what’s the point of having one otherwise?). Of course there…
