Spinnaker Cars for Recirculating Ball Tracks


These Spinnaker Cars are designed to fit on a variety of  Recirculating Ball (RCB) Tracks, and are held in place on the track by means of a line control system. The use of these Ball-Bearing Cars (on special Tracks) minimizes friction on the Track, allowing for greater ease of movement under load.

These Spinnaker Cars are shipped on a short length of loading Track which keep the Ball-Bearings in place until Car is loaded on destination Track. Cars must not be removed from Track, as doing so will allow the Ball-Bearings to escape - rendering the Car inoperative as well as making a mess! Loading Track should be saved for future Car removal or service. All Cars include shackles or other attachments for Control Lines or Blocks.

Ring Cars are used for Poles with standard Piston or Trigger pole ends, Pin, or Bell Cars are used to fit the variety of special inboard Spinnaker Pole Ends available. Please note that Ring Cars are not designed for, or recommended for vertical pole stowage applications.
