I am the owner of a Trapper 500, which is the same as your C&C 27 mk 1 (with the weird rudder).
I don't have a furling head sail yet so I am about to set one up for next season. The guys on the Trapper website seem to think that anchoring the track to the side decks is not a good idea due to the structure of the deck.
Can anybody tell me if using the 'drill out and resin pack' system will be strong enough. That is to drill over size hole through outer skin to core, remove some balsa and fit grp plug or ferrule using West epoxy. If there is another more common approach please let me know.

Everyone who races has inboard genoa tracks, fitted as seen here. The only concern, which may kick in if you don't race, is that tracks clutter the side decks. There is no structural reason not to fit them.

I have tracks on my boat and would not sail without them. One mistake I often see is that they do not go back far enough for the 165% Genoa. Mine just make it.
