I have long tracks which start about two feet aft of the shrouds and are even with them across-wise. They are about eight feet long. The 140+/- sheets near the forward end of the gate and the 155 sheets mid-to aft in the gate. The clew of the ‘working jib’ which may be original to the 1980 boat (seldom used) goes around the shrouds, and touches the shroud with the clew cringle. It sheets nearly where the 140 does because of its high clew (about 4 feet off deck) and it is rather full for a little sail. I sheet the genoas to the rail when reaching, as having them pinched into the track just chokes them off.
A different cut on a small jib would require a car and short track which could be inside the shrouds. Garhauer adjustable cars work just fine for this.

I use them with the cars all the way forward for my #2 genoa (150%), and with the cars all the way aft for my #1 genoa (165%). I use snatch blocks on the rails for smaller headsails. With my #3 genoa (130%) I position the blocks just forward of the forward lifeline gate brace. To use my working jib I'd position the blocks farther forward and would probably wish they were more inboard, but to be honest I hardly ever sail with a headsail smaller than the #3 genoa. This system could probably use some fine tuning, but it was good enough for me last year, and I won races when the wind was up.

As a result, the genoa track between the rail and the coming going up a couple feet forward of the bulkhead works well. However, sheeting to the toe rail works well also. For the smaller jib, I always use the rail. Pointing too high just seems a bad tradeoff with the shoal draft keel.

I have a 110 and 150 head sail. Can folks racing 30's comment on what is the best configuration of tracks on a 30. Will one long track work verses separate tracks for different sails? and where on the deck would they be installed? would the 110 be sheeted inside the shrouds? when they are best used? I have been searching photos on the internet and found at least half a dozen different configurations. So I don't think will be an easy decision on where to locate. you comments will be appreciated Steve _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
