Eric, I installed a Tides Marine strong track on my C&C 34 a few years ago and love it. I do a lot of singlehanding and this track makes raising and lowering the main by myself a snap. It cost me about $1000 but was worth it. Chris T.

Eric: The track on my boat is similar to yours. When I reef, I remove the pin that keeps the slugs from dropping off the track, slack the halyard allowing the slugs to drop out of the track, attach the reefing cringle to the "horns" at the forward end of the boom, and tighten the main halyard. It's a PITA, but having slugs makes it easier to drop the main when single-handing. Another choice is to have a rope luff on your main instead of slugs, or install a fast track system, such as sold by Tides Marine. Go to www.tidesmarine.com and click on SailTrack Systems. They're expensive, but it's on my list of things to upgrade.
