Smooth Control
Ronstan traveller systems deliver the performance required for optimising sail trim,
responding quickly to changing conditions and getting the right balance from the loads on
sails, rig and foils. Ronstan systems have been put to the test by Volvo Race teams, Offshore
Multihull and Around Alone challengers, and the professionals on the international Grand Prix circuit
who demand the highest performance and dependability, with no room for compromise.
Attention to Detail
Car bodies are machined to precise specifications, then honed
to an exceptional finish before being treated and anodised for
maximum corrosion protection. Stainless steel elements
are put through a special high energy finishing process to
achieve a uniquely smooth edge and surface finish.
Tracks
7 track sizes are available in the standard product range, to match system
specifications to individual requirements.
Standard low profile tracks have holes for adjustable track stops and
cars with plunger stops. Also available in lightweight version with
machined slots between fasteners to remove all non-essential material.
Beam track options are available for unsuppor ted spans (cockpit,
companionway hatches, etc.). Curved track can be supplied with bend in either
horizontal or ver tical plane. Minimum bend radius depends on car length. See
page 121 for options and details.
Cars
Machined alloy car bodies with alloy end caps provide high strength and durability
with minimum weight.
Low profile cars ensure that sheets and control lines run close to the deck.
Highly efficient recirculating Torlon
®
ball bearing systems allow precision adjustment and
control even in the most demanding conditions.
Cars
Sliderod genoa cars are machined from dedicated Sliderod
body profiles for highest possible strength-to-weight ratio. They
are used in applications where the sheet lead position does not
require adjustment under load. Plunger stops can be locked
in the “up” position,
and installation and removal from tracks is fast
and simple.
Control Accessories
Cam cleat suppor ts can be adjusted to the
optimum cleating angle.
Low friction ball bearing control sheaves
provide purchase systems for mainsheet
travellers and genoa sheet lead adjustment.
Sheave and becket addition kits are available for cars and track
control ends to provide extra control line purchase where required.
