Re: Stus-List Short Genoa Track on 35-III
David, I lead mine straight to the winch. The lead is fair and have had no problems. I got rid of the turning blocks on the quarters a long time ago.

Re: Stus-List Short Genoa Track on 35-III
Doug, We use them all the time. In 10kts of wind or less, they produce a great sheeting angle. Once the wind pipes up, we may switch to the outside cars to get some more adjustability. I damaged one of mine last year. We had the car all the way forward on the inside track and it actually pulled the track up and bent it. As it turns out, that last screw on the forward end of the track doesn't carry any weight. It's just there to keep the car on the track. When I repair it, I will make sure to through bolt that end of the track. Not all genoas are cut to use the inside track. It all depends on how yours fits.

Re: Stus-List Short Genoa Track on 35-III
I don't have a short track. My Genoa track runs from the shrouds to just even with the forward edge of the cockpit. I used to race with a #1, but most of the time my boat was overpowered, and the main was back-winded. I tried a #2, with a six second handicap gain, and was able to point higher. Then I tried racing with a #3 (105%). I gained another three seconds, and I point higher than everyone else in my fleet, with no noticeable change in speed. We tack faster, and the main doesn't get back-winded. I never went back to the larger Genoa.

Not in the two years I've owned and raced the boat. Perhaps if I had a blade.
