Harken’s award-winning Switch T-Track Battcar system cuts the stack height of mainsails on large yachts by half, making it much easier for crew to put on sail covers and to connect\/disconnect halyards. This simple, yet sophisticated patented switch system neatly stacks cars side-by-side on top of the boom. Harken now offers an option that allows C-Tech batten receptacles to be used with our Battcar systems. The pintles have shoulders that protect the threads from bending, making them more robust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications vary by the selected variant.
