typhoon genoa tracks

Post by Jack »

I'm looking for a set of original genoa tracks for my 1973 Typhoon. I believe thet are stainless steel, 1/8" x 3/4 " about 2 ft. long. Only marking is an "S". Any help greatly appreciated.

I recently put new tracks on my DaySailer. Was able to find the right size from Schaeffer Marine direct, though not in stainless.

the tracks on my '76 weekender are aluminum - work just fine.

They are Schaeffer T-Tracks, however Schaeffer no longer makes them in stainless only black anodized and the new screw mounting locations no longer match up to the old t-track, so to get original you will have to do some hunting around in independent marine stores.
