I need a straight 6′ length of track identical to the genoa sheet track on our 424’s, i.e., 1-1/4″ wide, it’s
surface standing 1/2″ proud of the surface on which it’s mounted. The track rail flange is 3/16″ thick. Does
anybody have a piece they’d part with, or else know where I can order it, preferably discounted?FYI, this is to extend the whisker pole track that’s was already mounted on the forward side of my mainmast
when I bought the boat. It’s a bit too short to accommodate the telescoping whisker pole I’m putting on it.Tor

Hi Tor,
It's a standard track that you can get from Defenders, West Marine (maybe), or many other places. Sometimes, the track is in two pieces – the top part for the slide and the piece under it. I've seen them both ways. But the 1-1/4″ track is pretty standard.

Tor,
I purchased a couple of 2' sections of track from Garhauer at the boat show for my stay sail track. I don't remember what they charged me, but it must have not been much for me not to remember it.http://www.svsarah.com/Sarah/ewSolentStayFinish.html
Thanks for the suggestion of rope caulk. More than few ducks must have drowned here in New Bern over the last week, but not a drop through the track fasteners.

Owners no more...
Thanks Dawn and Patrick! -
John,
Happy to hear of your success with rope caulk. Half my deck fittings are now bedded with it, some for nearly 3 years now, and none leak so far. Sorry for the ducks, though.

Thanks, Pat. I get some good deals from Port Supply, and they’ll always at least match any other advertised price. So I’m glad to be armed with Garhauer’s $10/ft and appreciate the tip.
