Tracks & Travellers

Browse our range of tracks & travellers, including mainsheet traveller systems, track sections, slider cars and accessories designed for precise sail control and smooth rigging performance.

Tracks and travellers are essential components within sailing and rigging systems, allowing controlled movement of the mainsheet attachment point to optimise sail shape and boat performance. Our range includes solutions for dinghies, yachts and commercial marine applications.

We stock a wide selection of track and traveller systems from leading brands, including Allen and IYE, with multiple sizes and configurations available to suit different vessel types and load requirements.

Mainsheet Control and Sail Performance

Tracks and travellers work alongside the mainsheet to control sail position and tension. While the mainsheet manages vertical load and boom tension, the traveller allows lateral movement across the track, adjusting the sail’s angle to the wind.

This combination enables:

  • improved sail shape and efficiency
  • better balance and handling
  • precise control in varying wind conditions

By adjusting the traveller position, sailors can fine-tune performance without overloading the mainsheet system.

Track Systems and Traveller Cars

The track is typically a fixed rail mounted across the cockpit or deck, providing a smooth path for the traveller car. Traveller cars run along this track, guided by bearings or sliders to ensure consistent and controlled movement under load.

Our range includes:

  • straight and low-profile track systems
  • traveller cars for mainsheet control
  • fairleads, sliders and associated fittings
  • replacement components and spares

Different systems are designed to suit varying load levels, boat sizes and rigging layouts.

Sizes and Configurations

Selecting the correct track and traveller system depends on the size of the vessel and the loads generated by the sail plan.

We offer multiple size options, including:

  • compact systems for dinghies and smaller boats
  • mid-range setups for cruising yachts
  • heavy-duty systems for larger vessels and higher load applications

Each system is designed to deliver smooth operation and reliable performance under load.

Durable Marine Construction

All track and traveller components are designed for long-term use in marine environments. Manufactured using high-quality materials, these systems provide:

  • strength and stability under load
  • resistance to corrosion in saltwater conditions
  • smooth movement for consistent control
  • durability for both recreational and commercial use

Marine and Commercial Applications

Tracks and travellers are widely used across:

  • sailing yachts and dinghies
  • racing and performance boats
  • commercial marine vessels
  • specialist rigging and control systems

Their ability to provide precise sail control makes them a key part of both leisure and professional marine setups.

Reliable Stock and Support

We maintain strong stock levels across our tracks & travellers range, ensuring availability of key sizes and components when you need them. Whether upgrading an existing system or specifying a new setup, our team can assist with selecting the right solution.
