Genoa tracks on a 26C

Post by SPC Paul »

Has anyone installed tracks/blocks for the genoa sheets on a 26S or D? My boat is lacking them, and the previous owner ran the sheets to blocks attached to the stanchion bases then back forward to the winches. I'd like to add tracks so I have some control over sheeting angles, but I'm at a loss as to the location for them. For those that have them, where did you mount them, and what size track and blocks did you use?

This is the best picture I have. The fwd tracks work for a 135% the aft tracks work for a 155%. The tracks are Schaefer 1". Dont remember the model of the blocks.
