Who sells the traveler car replacement for a 1998 Nacra6.0na?

If I recall correctly, Harken.

It is a Harken - but you are better off rebuilding the car that is there with new bearings and hardware.

Thanks, I just rebuilt it. I don't think Harken makes this one anymore. I was checking in case I had to find a replacement car to fit the track.

If it's a Harken traveler car, it's probably either a small boat high-load car, or a small-boat 1250 (even higher load) car. Some years back, Harken switched their small boat traveler cars and track to a

captive bearing

(CB) design. The cars have a metal retaining clip to keep the bearings in place when removed from the track (you no longer need the blue plastic bearing keeper). The CB track has a groove for the retaining clip.

If you want to use a CB traveler car with old (non-CB) track, you can pop the retaining clips off (carefully, so as not to lose the bearings), and reload the bearings using a blue plastic bearing keeper. The CB car will now fit non-CB track.

Regards,
Eric
