Track manufacturer for 1987 Ericson 34

[sailingdeacon]

I want to install the sliding genoa block system from Garhauer but they need to know the thickness of the T section or the manufacturer of the track. A stamped logo is on the end of my genoa track which is a circle with what looks like a three pronged fork in the center. The center prong has a pointed arrow end. A single vertical line comes down from the fork and looks like a plus. Anyone know the manufacturer?

My SWAG would be Merriman Holbrook, now only a historical name of a former marine manufacturer that made everything from blocks to track to steering systems.

Here is the logo

On the end of one of the tracks is this logo - which I pencil traced. Hopefully someone knows whose logo it is.

I THINK this is the old Lewmar logo, BUT...
ANy 1 1/4" T track will be compatible-Schaefer, Ronstan, Merriman.
What is the issue and maybe we cna help more....

The logo is a Trident. I think this is the Shaefer logo.
Seth: The issue is described in the original post. The tickness of the t section is critical since they will produce an exacting slide.

Thanks for the correction-I still think that for Genoa track most of them will accept a variety (maybe not all) of sliding cars. Mast track is a different story, of course.
But I am not the final authority-and if wrong I certainly stand corrected.

Thats Merriman and the track should accept any accessories that specify 1 1/4 T track.
