We introduced recirculating ball bearing travelers to the sailing world in 1980. Since then thousands of you have used these free-running systems to win races.

Now we have introduced a breakthrough design improvement. Captive ball and roller bearings allow you to remove the cars without fear of losing the bearings. Simply roll on, roll off. The Micro Captive Ball Traveler is compact, lightweight, and built to handle extremely high loads. It is perfect for mainsheets, jibsheets, vangs and outhaul cars on dinghies and light daysailers.

When you first look at the Big Boat Roller Traveler Car, you will doubt our sanity and won't believe it can handle the loads it's rated for. But look underneath. Torlon^® roller bearings make all the difference. Captive ball and roller bearings let you take off cars without losing bearings. What a breakthrough! This amazing compact car made its debut at the 2000 America's Cup.

Our conventional recirculating ball bearing travelers move freely under nonvertical loads. They offer a host of features that make them the lowest, most free-running and most versatile in the world. We have seven ranges to fit any boat from the smallest dinghy or beach cat, to the largest megayacht.
