Name That Genoa Car
« on: November 25, 2013, 07:37:00 PM »
Hi everyone. My Starboard genoa car is missing the nylon insert. What this means is that the car pops loose and slides back on the traveler. I have no idea what brand of hardware this is. Anybody have an idea. I sure would like to find a replacement insert.

Thanks for looking,

That's different from mine.  Mine are made by Schaefer, and have a metal thumbscrew instead of a spring-loaded pin, and no inserts.

EDIT:

Could they be by Barton?  I found this:

Wow! you guys are the best.

That Barton looks awful close doesn't it? I would buy new but these whatever-they-are are in good working order in spite of their age. I will contact Barton and let you know what I find. Maybe they can supply me with the insert I need.

Thank you for the help.
