[C38] Genoa Tracks

[Joseph Launie]

Kerry,
    On Macavity we changed to Harken adjustable tracks for the aft 
(largest) genoa track. This turned out to be an adventure which is 
reported in the next issue of the Mainsheet. Aside from the fire drill 
of the installation, it has ben a very good change. I would not touch 
the forward track. The angle of them  is different because they are used 
only with non-overlapping headsails which can be sheeted in tighter. We 
use the forward track with our high tech blade which is  98 percent. I 
think it is a good idea to have two sets of cars so you do not have to 
change anything going from the numbe 1 to the numbe 3. Joe Launie, 
Macavity, Commodore
