Favored by skippers and crew, Harken Battcar systems let you raise, douse, and reef the main instantly from the cockpit, even when close reaching in a big breeze. 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.
