Typhoon Genoa traveller and car

[alan strowd]

I am looking to find a new car/pully for my 1974 Typhoon genoa starboard track. Does anyone know where to find a repalcement part?

Hi Alan - not sure exactly which part you are looking for and unfortunately I can't get to my boat for another month to have a look. I just met a guy in the phila area that bought out a sailboat parts distributer. He has a table in his basement with about 500 pulleys, cars, blocks, ratchets , etc that he's selling. I bought a bunch of stuff at very reasonable discount prices. If you send me a photo I'll get in touch with him to see if he has something that will work....you may need to replace both sides with something newer if you can't find a match. If you want to try him directly he posts on Craigs List Philadelphia search for sail boat parts & equipment (http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/boa/2081372814.html)
Good Luck - Joe

Joe, thanks for the response. I'll send a photo and also try the site address you quoted. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Alan

I bought new blocks for my genoa tracks from schaefer. West Marine had to special order them but they had a lower price than direct from schaefer. I think the track is 3/4 inch. If this is what you are looking for.

...I've lookd at West Marine's selection too and while not exactly like mine, might go that route...if this other fellow who has quite a stock of cars and blocks does not have the type I prefer.

They have a very wide selection of sailing hardware. Perhaps you might get lucky at the link below:
