Considerations for
Determining Track Length.
Note: Track is longer than sail luff length.
1. Upper end: Extend track 203 mm (8") above
headboard halyard attachment point to allow for
sail stretch as main ages. Track must not block
mast halyard exit.
2. Lower end: Place 152 mm (6") Screwpin
Endstop track on mast. Make sure car clears
gooseneck fittings and adjust height as
necessary. Measure to lower end of track.
