I put the garhauer adjustables on Firefly (27-III) with excellent results.

Hi Pete,
Our boat has the inner tracks, but we haven't taken the time to evaluate them.
I'm told they are supposed to be used in light air when you want a big belly in
the sail. The inner track lets you tension the leech properly with less on the
foot so the shape is fuller down low. The usable wind range is small, maybe 4
to 6 or 8 knots. I've read that below that, you want a flatter shape cause
"wind doesn't like to bend". Above that, you want to sheet to the normal track
so you don't backwind the main, and in higher winds, barberhaul to the rail. I
hope the more experienced listers chime in so I can learn more about these.
On our boat the 153% and 144% are the only sails that come back far enough to
use the inner tracks.
We had several light wind races where I thought these tracks would be optimum,
but my crew did not want to experiment.

Subject: Stus-List jib tracks
I have a 37 and have seen drawings with short jib tracks set forward on the
cockpit coaming, just inside and above the main jib tracks. I have extra jib
cars and track laying around and am considering adding these, but have heard
they really don’t make a difference.
Do others use these? What size sail and wind speeds do they work best? IE
150s and only light air?
Thanks,
