J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum One Design Class Rules Tides Marine Track for mainsail

A lower cost solution than the Tides Marine track that works for Rhapsody with the everyday main is to use slugs rather than the boltrope. My race main just uses the boltrope. There is a "gate" that is two SS plates that screw into the mast at the slug/boltrope entry point. This allows the slugs to slide up and down without coming out of the track.
