Experience Unmatched Control and Performance
A mainsail traveller is one of the most critical sail-shaping tools on a sailboat. This PLASTIMO system elevates your ability to trim the main, allowing for immediate and accurate adjustments to the boom´s angle. By moving the traveller up to windward in light to medium winds, you can point higher without excessive heeling. In heavy gusts, dropping the traveller to leeward instantly de-powers the sail, reducing heel and weather helm, which dramatically increases stability and crew safety.
Key Benefits:
* Effortless Mainsail Trimming: The integrated 2:1 purchase system effectively halves the effort required to adjust the car under load. This makes trimming the mainsail a quick, low-exertion task, even for single-handed sailors or in challenging weather.
* Enhanced Speed and Pointing Ability: Achieve the perfect sail shape by precisely controlling twist and draft. A properly adjusted traveller allows you to flatten the mainsail for upwind performance or add power for reaching, directly translating to improved boat speed and a better tacking angle.
* Ultra-Smooth and Reliable Operation: The heart of the system is the high-performance traveller car, equipped with a low-friction ball-bearing system. It glides effortlessly along the track, ensuring no sticking or jamming, even under the high loads generated by a powered-up mainsail.
* Increased Safety and Stability: Quickly and effectively dump power from the mainsail during sudden gusts without altering the sail´s shape. This action reduces heeling forces, making the boat more comfortable, stable, and easier to steer.
Main Features:
* High-performance ball-bearing traveller car for exceptionally smooth movement.
* Efficient 2:1 purchase system for reduced line-handling effort.
* A robust 1.40-meter track, pre-drilled for convenient and secure mounting.
* Integrated end stops featuring double control-line pulleys and cam cleats for secure and easy adjustments.
* Designed for long-lasting reliability and performance in the demanding marine environment.
