Luckily I saved a copy - hope you don't mind Judy - all in the good cause of 'private research' :) . Great combined track layout for 150 genoa as it would give correct sheeting angle regarless of the amount of furling - perhaps not quite as clew would move up as sail is furled?

I will have to get you an updated picture. I have lengthened the fwd tracks so I can fly around a 95% deck sweeper for high winds (J22 head sail). It acually fits really good, the clew is about an inch from the block when sheeted in. it works tons better than the stock sail in high winds.
