Joel,
When the panels heat up they become less and less efficient. That's the
reason for controlling their heat if possible. If mounting on a fabric
such as a Bimini I can't imagine that adding a coroplast backing would
change the temperature very much since the fabric is already pretty thin.
I got tracks on my 35 MKII. I will send a pic when i uncover in sting. If

You can also consider a counterweight of half of that (or, generally, any
size). If you lift 50 lb, you would be 50 lb lighter.
Though, I still believe that it is much easier to climb yourself.

I like this trick; I did the opposite when drilling for new midship cleats,
and the over drilled hole is just barely hidden. I will try this method
next time, at least where clearance below allows for it.

Dwight,
I was going ask the same question as Chuck. My 35 Mk2 is old school, no
roller furler racing genoas, but does have a cruising roller furl #2.
All racing genoas are deck sweepers and are lead inboard of the
lifelines which requires on each tack that the foredeck "skirts" the
sails. I

I answered Bob's email and added a drawing of my deck layout - of course

It is also possible with a balsa core to pick out the core with a bent wire or
other steel curved hook going into the side wall of the hole so you don’t have
to over drill from either side. You have to make sure you get it all so the
epoxy will seal the core. Hard to do with a small <1/4”
For going up the mast solo, I was able to find a used ATN Topclimber on eBay
for a reasonable cost. I have been up the mast 3-4 times now, so it has paid
for itself. I was not confident putting something together from parts and ATN
got good reviews from users (and now me). Dave

Agree, hoisting the 190# of chain or similar weight would take the same effort,
but you'd only have to hoist it once and then have the freedom to could go up
and down and anywhere in between without much effort and not have to bother

Regarding Dennis’ comment about overbored holes being hidden by the track, a
trick I like to use is to drill up from underneath and stop when the bit

IMHO, I think there are three tricks to mounting genoa or jib tracks.
1. Cut away the headliner so the backing plate is against the underside of
the deck. I've seen too many folks simply crush the headliner against the
underdecking.
2. Make sure the backing plate(s) is adequately thick and
I be very careful with the bag of anchor chain as a counter weight.

Bob,
If you install the inner tracks, I suggest you make up an "outer sheet" (or
Barber hauler or whatever folks want to call it). Touche's is a length of
line with a snap shackle on the end.
I rig it to the toe rail with a snatch block just a bit forward of where
the primary sheet crosses over
+1 on Chuck's thoughts.
You will add many sources of leaks with the tracks--been there and done that.
I would try a ring solution first--no holes required. If it doesn't work like
you prefer, then get out the drill and butyl tape!

The measurements I listed were provided by a sailmaker. He's been in the
business for decades. I talked with him several years ago about using rings
and athwartship tracks, which is why those measurements were included. I never
did include tracks, but now it has become more important.

I found a similar bit at Fisheries marine supply that takes a 3/8" drive.
It is a replacement bit for the winchmate. I bought one, but have yet to
use it. I was surprised when it arrived that i received 2 bits for i

Our 35-2 has track, but it is too short for either the 95 jib or the genoa
(which is currently on toerail), so I am looking to add a longer track. I
am curious how you arrived at the measurements? Based on the foot length of
the sail? Were they done on paper, or with the actual sail on the boat?
You will twist around, if the line is free. If you are climbing the mast, you
can use it to prevent the twisting. A loop around the mast helps a lot.

Hi Marek - have found the hoisting of my not quite 100kg to be a lot as well.
I’m not at all happy that I have the ascent sorted as well as I should -
needs to be simple and safe.
Could you share Some detail or reference material on the ascenders you use and
the technique?
Thanks, Dave
Bob,
I use that track for my 155% and 125% headsails. I use a small track by
the shrouds for a 95%.

I don't believe in hoisting people up. You have to climb up, with the line used
mainly as safety.
When I go up, I use a pair of ascenders on one halyard and have someone at the
winch using the second halyard for safety. If I have to do it alone (and I
often do), I use a third ascender on the
