I am looking for feedback/suggestions on installing a mainsail track into the bolt groove in my teardrop shaped mast and then attaching the sail to the track. Examples are Tides Marine, Antal, Harkin... On my existing setup my mainsail uses 1/2" slugs and works great until I have to reef when the slides can put lots of pressure on my custom aluminum sailgates and literally pop out along with lots of sail. I keep the boat on a trailer and mast un-stepped so installation should be quite simple next spring. Of concern to me is that many systems that install into a bolt groove seem to rely upon a flat surface area near the opening of the groove. The teardrop style mast on most E27's doesn't afford much surface area at the aft part of the mast. Has this been an issue for anyone?
Much thanks in advance.
