Do they do a square one?  Will they fit a Harken track and cleats on it?

What's the details of the "PBO System" - how does the traveller work?

Exactly the same as a track , but the main block runs on the PBO with a block and traveller lines .The PBO is the traveller track.

As in it's a strip of hard light smooth stuff stuck to the underside of the top bar of the hoop with a big sheave around it?

The PBo we use for the main track is 3mm thick with a plastic coating .A hoop can be used but we dont ,as the PBO on its own is fine .
