Adjustable Genoa Cars

I saw the adjustable cars in the Garhauer booth at the Pacific Sail Expo. These are superbly manufactured and help sail adjustment a lot.

Putting them on was a bit tricky. There is barely enough room at the front of the genoa tracks.

The cockpit end has a swiveling cam-cleat.

December 2003:  Update

-- I had put permanent marker lines on the track positions. Two years of sun and water has managed to erase the marks.    I need to put the marks in again.
