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.
