26 mm, 32 mm Switch 
T-Track Battcar Systems
Patented Battcar switch systems cut sail stack height in half by 
automatically splitting cars onto two tracks.
Use HC8879 and HC8880 for headboard reefed position. See page 
151. Gate track is removed to load and unload cars.
Spherical bushings let headboard cars pass through switch.
Typical boat size:
26 mm: Monohulls: 15 - 24 m (50 - 80');
 
Multihulls: 12 - 18 m (40 - 60')
32 mm: Monohulls: 24 - 43 m (80 - 140');
 
Multihulls: 18 - 27 m (60 - 90')
About Switch T-Track Battcar systems: see feature pages at beginning of this section.
*May increase mwl by using track with closer hole spacing; contact Harken.    **Contact Harken for headboard plate for older systems and boats 
  with sail areas at the high and low ends of the size range.     If your boat or sail area is larger than the lengths and sail areas listed, please contact Harken.
