Typhoon Genoa Track

[mcoop]

G’Day, all,

Well, it looks like our Typhoon refurbish project is getting close to splashing.

We have spent the last year in getting this neglected little yacht upgraded and repaired (i.e., new teak rub ails / toe rails, faired and Awlgrip’d hull, Micron bottom, all new tracks, blocks, fittings, Schaefer Snapfurl 500, new Mack Sails 150 Genoa, etc).

This question concerns the Genoa t-track that was fastened to the toe rails. We are trying to replace the original ¾â€

I've bent both Schaeffer & Harken track to fit Ty's and similar Alberg boats, and it's easy to make the curve. Just start at the curvey end (forward) and bolt in the first two holes. Then use the long unattached end to pull the track into the curved shape and set one bolt at a time. Almost easier to do then say.
