With tracks directly behind the shrouds, my 30-1 ‘s 155% genoa hits the spreader and shroud at about the same time. I think that seven degrees on a rather wide boat is pushing it, it seems the boat is not able to respond.
Just my experience.

Micheal Brown pointed out an interesting sailing magazine article <http://www.sailmagazine.com/racing/regattas/headsail-sheeting/> http://www.sailmagazine.com/racing/regattas/headsail-sheeting/ My take away here is I should be sheeting as close as 7 degrees up to 10 degrees depending on wind. I visited my boat this weekend and based on my trigonometry math skills I would have not issue sheeting too close . It would be difficult to meet the seven degrees in light wind. With that in mind my concern is shroud location. Does any one with tracks have interference with the shrouds? I am thinking, when the wind pick up you want to flatten the foot, visually looks like the shroud would restrict sail shape. any comments? Steve
