Adam, I have a ketch but not the 110/120 lapper. I use
a 140.
All boats will sheet a little different depending on
the tension on the rig. Car position will depend on
the point of sail.
But one of the issues with the 424, is that the track
is too far outboard. So, even if you set the car
position by watching on the flies break (to break
evenly), you may not get the leach to stop flopping.
I am sure that doesn’t answer your question.

Having spent a lot of time fixing the area around the main cabin companionway, I’d be very cautious of anything mounted on the deck. Unless it were done properly, water is bound to get into the deck. To do the right, you’d have to overdrill the holes and then dig out the balsa around each hole, then fill with epoxy and drill again. Then you’d need a backing plate. Even then, you may have problems with the track since the deck was never made to handle the load. Take a close look at the deck around the fasteners. If you have crazing, you have a problem.

actually, cracks with rust stains. crazing is less scary. those were
essentially my thoughts w/re out-thinking the designers & builders.-Adam Silverstein-iPhone
