Cape Dory 22 New Traveller

Thanks Mark. That seems easy enough. Are you staying with the same track length? I'm thinking that the new track could go from combing to combing.

same length, the extra length didn't seem worth the hassle of ensuring it would fit.

Mark, I did as you suggested. I scribed the arc onto a piece of doorskin and marked off the bolt holes. I had to check my measurements several times because the boltholes are not evenly spaced. The first one from each end is in 1/2" the next is spaced at 4", but after that they j ump around, not much, but I have 4 1/16", 4", and 4 1/8". Where yours like that?
90 degrees in the shade today...and there was no shade. I'm really thinking about dockside A/C.

Tim, mine fasteners were "nominal" 4" apart. I suspect yours are as well. The new traveler came in but i've yet to install it. i could have gone coaming to coamong as you suggested. It would have introduced some minor fit up complications but nothing that couldn't be overcome. You do lose a little treavel with nthe new unit..
