Determine Track Length

Measure track length from point 1 to

point 2. See diagram at left. Use this

measurement in two charts to follow.
1. Upper end— 305 mm (12") above black

band. Track is longer than sail luff length

to allow for stretch as sail ages. Track

must not block halyard exit.

2. Lower end, using 3875—Bottom

of track will be approximately 13 mm (

above gooseneck fitting. When installed,

track should be as low as possible yet you

should still be able to install long headboard

cars. Test measurement by using long

headboard car. See photo above.
