Hello, I am installing a forward jib track on my ericson 27, to help with pointing. My sail maker said to.put it a few inches inside the stay, but I am not sure how far forward /aft I should put it... any advice?
Both Christian and Supersailor are right You will need more specific sail info for your circumstance. We very seldom use our track because of the Rolling Genoa and, I'll admit, I have gotten lazy in my old age.
It begins about 6 inches aft of the forward stanchion and ends about the forward tip of the middle port light. Ours is on the top of the toe rail but frankly if I were to redo I place inside the stays. Hope this helps, TPCorrigan
P.S. I tried but I could not upload a picture or I would have sent one. computers and website are not my strong point
