Mast Sailtrack Improvement

Post by Bob Marsh »

I got into a Thunderstorm (up to 50kts) yesterday and had I not had a sailing buddy along, I would have been at risk for being blown out of the ICW and grounded. It was really a hoot but It revived my interest in getting them down very quickly singlehanded.

I Checked at the Tides Marine site on the Strong Track system and reviewed the traffic on this board. Are those of you who have that system still happy with it? Are there any other alternatives?

Thanks

I have had mine on my CD25 for a year. I love it. Easy up and down. It also makes reefing a breeze too.
Be very careful measuring. I was a couple of inches short. It works fine but I would have liked to have the extra if I could.
