What size is my genoa track?

[Joe Myerson]

Hi all,
This is kind of a stupid question (I'll explain why I'm asking it later):

What is the size of the genoa-car track on a CD 25D?

I had planned to measure it this weekend, when I was near the boat. But there was a gale blowing off the water and the temperature was 15 degrees (F), and I didn't want to risk damaging my canvas cover. I want to order a pair of midship cleats, either from Schaefer or Garhauer, and I'll need to know the size.

Thanks in advance,

--Joe

Hi Joe,
I just peeked in under Vindolanda's cover and the Genoa tracks completely cover the width of the toe rail which is 1" wide. The 1981 owner's manual also says the T tracks on the CD25D are 1" (Spartan Marine) tracks.

I think midship cleats have been the best upgrade I've made to date. They make single handed docking way easier for us over 25 year olds!

Thanks, Bob.

And speak for yourself.
