Preassembly Sizing
Sizing
Make sure you have the correct size battcar system for your boat.
Track length and switch
height considerations
Switch height is determined by the
number of cars required for system
and the length of the storage track.
Note: Cars will pass each other when
top of car is at “A” distance above
bottom of switch. See chart at right.
Make sure track is longer than sail luff
to allow for stretch as sail ages. Track
must not block halyard exit. Using
gate track above switch allows
bottom storage track to extend
down to gooseneck.
