Re: Stus-List Main sail slides

Yep, when we had the new mainsail made the maker suggested the StrongTrack system by Tides Marine. It was also recommended by practical sailor. The sail goes up quite easily with only the weight of the sail causing resistance and coming down it simply falls without help right into the sail pack.

I’ve been having issues with my mainsail. It seems the slides are bucking in the mast track. Part of it is due to warn track, and part due to new(second hand)main sail having full battens. I ended up ripping the luff cord trying to bring the main down in a blow last year, and the patch job g
