I am just about to start installing genoa tracks on my 1978 MKIII. No more sheeting to the toerail.
I have seen the pictures in the Black Arts section of what David did on Towser. I want to do that. I originally wanted to install my tracks way more inboard as others have shown but soon realized that I could not sheet a large genoa inside the shrouds, and it seems trimming any sail would be troublesome.
David - are you happy with your placement? I see that your track aligns with the aft lower stay - does the foot of the genoa touch the stay when sheeted in tight? Would you have preferred to locate closer to the centerline, but chose not to because of difficulty threading the sheet and or sail through the stays? What measure of improved windward performance have your tracks provided?
Thanks to all for any comments/suggestions.
