I had been planning this mod for my 17. Has anyone added a track to an old school aluminum toe rail 17?
The most used sail in my inventory is the 155. I do use a snap shackle/ swivel block....on the toe rail to adjust...but when sheeted in hard the foot is inside the life lines. I have also used a barberhauler to close the slot to good effect at times......not that that has anything to do with a track.... Tim in Kelowna =========================== Definitely sheet outside for a 155. I recommend mounting a couple-three feet of genoa track on the toe rail, starting abouit four feet from the aft end or the rail, about where the combing stops turning and straightens out going toward the stern of the boat. You'll need to mound a cleat up on the combing--a largish horn or jam cleat will do the trick, but you can get fancier if you want...
