Battcar systems outperform in-mast or in-boom furling, cost less, and you don’t need to recut your sail. The one-piece solid aluminum construction is lightweight and strong. The free-rolling ball bearing cars let you hoist and reef the main quickly on all points of sail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications vary by the selected variant.
