The boat DID come with 2 "short" sails. One a reefable blade and the other I assumed was a 135. It also had a second tack cringle that I used to take the "baggies" out of the luff. So, I would raise those sails without a stay to hank it onto? They both have hanks. And thanks for solving my mystery!

Charles, The track would be for a staysail and the pole foreguy (downhaul), they may have been attached to the same car but usually each had their own car on the track. Since your spinnaker pole only has one bridle they probably did dip pole gybes instead of end for end. If your boat came with bags of old sails one is probably marked Staysail, Tallboy, Spinnaker Staysail or Lowboy, they were popular in the ‘70s. The main rule with a staysail is you gain a knot when you put it up and you gain a knot when you take it down. :) Who knows, you may even have a Blooper too.

Gary; My 30 is from 1973 and was raced extensively for its first ten years. Most of the fittings and lines I recognize, but, I have a track with a car running down the foredeck. The spinnaker poll has only one bridle for the uphaul. Not sure what that track helped control. I mostly solo sail with guest that wish I had a power boat so their drinks wouldn't spill. I don't think i'll miss it but was interested in it's function. Charles Ferrari Destrier
