The old traveller on my 'new' MkV is [let's try sub-optimal]. I'm thinking of replacing it. I'm planning to race the boat so want a pretty decent set-up. Any suggestions?
I was looking at the Harken stuff looks good - any other suggestions?
Also, when you guys race how much weight do you take off the boat? ie: empty tanks etc.

Your traveller question appears to be answered, at least in part, in "Deck Layout (MkV) The fast set-up?" Have a look at the ideas expressed there and see if that doesn't help.

re: weight on the boat for racing - we're try to be careful to keep it light - but it is a 'racer cruiser' - so we don't get too hung up on it.
in the car trunk: cruising sails, my wife's picnic basket with enough cutlery 8 people
holding tank, water tank empty. fuel tank 1/2 empty
moveable gear on the boat - try to keep in the middle and low. Anchor & rode in the cabin, not the anchor well. Sails on the cabin floor, or the starboard storage area. Keep stuff out of the quarterberth and out of the forepeak.
The weight that matters most? four or five guys on the rail in anything over 10 knots.
