Here's a link to some photos. I'm afraid these don't show the tracks very well -- I was taking the photos of something else and they're the only ones I can find now. We'll be on the boat the week of 12/03 - 12/11 and I'll take some good photos, including below deck fasteners.

If you can tell from these shots, I use the forward tracks for my 90% sail's jib-sheet cars and for my Dutchman boom brake

Rob,
Will you further describe where the tracks are placed & how you fastened below deck?

Don't you race TESA in the Double Handed Farallones. I have done that the last 2 years. Please send me your e-mail address. I would like to see your set up or at least photo's of it. My e-mail is chris@cabuilders.com.

Rod,

I like the idea of adding a 2nd set of tracks. This smaller sail has a foot about 8' shorter than the 135%. Adding 4' would still make it necessary to raise the clew... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (chrislewis) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5263 Wed, 16 Nov 2005 13:09:57 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Luff pads sown into Catalina 155% furling headsails? ]]> http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/5262/t/Luff-pads-sown-into-Catalina-155-furling-headsails-.html#reply-5262 feeds@yuku.com (stevesnyder) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5262 Wed, 16 Nov 2005 06:35:21 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Luff pads sown into Catalina 155% furling headsails? ]]> http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/5261/t/Luff-pads-sown-into-Catalina-155-furling-headsails-.html#reply-5261

I have a second set of short tracks for my 90% jib's sheet-cars forward by the shrouds. I use the regular tracks and cars aft when I have the big boy, the 155% up.

Since it sounds like you're ported in Alameda or Oakland, you're very welcome to come by the boat to see how they are mounted and, probably more important, fastened below the deck.

I wind on this to the point of just getting upward creases in the luff. this helps to flatten the sail and de power it.
Hope this helps.
