Ronstan Series 19 I-Beam Traveller System

The Ronstan RC61920 forms part of the Series 19 I-Track traveller system, designed for efficient sail control on smaller sailing vessels.

A mainsheet traveller allows the mainsheet attachment point to move across the boat, helping sailors adjust boom position and mainsail trim.

The RC61920 runs along compatible 19mm I-Beam track, allowing controlled movement of the traveller car.

This provides sailors with a practical method of adjusting the mainsail's position relative to the centreline of the boat.

The Series 19 system is commonly used on sailing dinghies and catamarans where compact, efficient traveller hardware is required.

Integrated Cam Cleats for Traveller Control

One of the main advantages of the RC61920 is its integrated cam cleat arrangement.

The cam cleats allow the traveller control lines to be secured after adjustment.

This helps sailors maintain their selected traveller position without continuously holding the control lines.

Benefits include:

• Convenient traveller adjustment

• Secure holding of correctly sized control lines

• Easier mainsail trimming

• Compact traveller control arrangement

• Reduced need for separate cleating hardware

The control lines must be correctly routed and compatible with the installed cam cleats.

Single Control Sheaves

The RC61920 incorporates control sheaves designed to guide the traveller adjustment lines.

Ronstan specifies that the Series 19 control sheaves accommodate rope up to 6mm diameter.

The sheaves are manufactured from UV-stabilised acetal, a durable engineering plastic suitable for marine hardware applications.

Correct rope selection and routing help maintain smooth traveller operation and reduce unnecessary friction.

Smooth Operation with Angled Bearing Wheels

Ronstan's Series 19 I-Track traveller cars use angled bearing wheels and flared stainless steel car bodies.

This arrangement is designed to support smooth movement along the compatible track while handling the loads generated by sailing.

The bearing design helps distribute forces through the traveller system.

Smooth traveller movement is particularly important when making sail trim adjustments under changing wind conditions.

Durable Stainless Steel Construction

The RC61920 features high-quality stainless steel components designed for strength and corrosion resistance.

Grade 316 Stainless Steel Body

The car body and fixtures are manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel.

This material is widely used in marine hardware because of its resistance to corrosion in suitable marine environments.
