The car on the track, yes. So basically your halyard only has to be half length Gand stays out of the sun. The rest of the. Halyard is detached when you get the main pard hooked on. The car ratchets along the track so it stays in place with the right tension. It's a very nifty system. I'm looking forward to installing it on Masquerade. Anagdy.
