An interesting post, as I am considering how and where to install the long tracks I got to upgrade our 35mk2. So the small inner track allows one to trim the genoa with more curve by bringing it inboard in lighter wind? Currently, my genoa uses a block on the toerail, and the jib uses the factory track, which is almost at the cockpit coaming. So by moving the genoa sheet to the track, I should be able to get more curve? I will have to try this. I can see the lifelines might be an issue though, as they can be when running closehauled with the genoa on the toerail.
