The track looks great.
Looking at the unit folded I have one cautionary note. Nothing does sun better than Sunbrella but Sunbrella is rather poor at abrasion resistance. You might consider having the reinforcement patches added to the cover where it would rest in contact with railing and where the backstay would pass it. Even a line hang down from the boom can cut though in a day if wind driven chop starts dancing the boat around in her slip.
