I will attest to that. I'm having similar issues (sheeting angle out of the Car) but I'm not installing coaming mounted tracks. For now I have to stick with the outboard Tracks. I still think the Genoa Car/block is where I want the Sheet to first turn. I'm thinking a second pin car with something like a 3 " turning block ona stand up spring. I can then have this block aft of the winch and allow almost a 180 degree turn up to the . My thinking (may be flawed) is that the fist car will greatly reduce the angled load thus the second car could TAKE that load no problem. I'm hesitant to install cheek blocks because the blocks on cars will serve multi purposes. The cheek blocks (in my situation) don't offer enough. I hope that the change in height will also help a bit with the wraps too!
