Neil,
I put a 1/4 x 2 inch aluminum backing plate under the entire track.
You can barely see it here outboard of the dome light:

The teak piece shown covered the fasteners on the old genoa track
which was a piece of toe rail mounted at an angle forward of the
primary winch.
Installing the plate was tricky. Location was complicated because of
the cabinetry. On the starboard side the genoa track backing plate is
inside the settee and galley slide storages. On the port side it's
inside the dinette slide storage but exposed aft of the navstation
half bulkhead.
I cut away the headliner and drilled the holes in the deck
(over-boring, filling and redrilling, of course). I drilled a hole
one bit oversized in one end of the backing plate and fastened it in
place. I had a helper hold the other end in place from underneath and
used a drill from above to mark the hole for the other end. Pulled
the plate and drilled the other end hole, again, one bit size larger.
We then fastened the plate in place with the two end fasteners and
marked the remaining holes. Drilled them all using one bit size
larger to give a smidgen of clearance.
So, all the holes in the deck were the same size as the fastener but
the holes in the backing plate were drilled one bit size larger. This
made installation a lot easier than if the backing plate holes were
the same size as the fastener. Doesn't reduce the strength of the
plate much either.
Also have an inboard jib track. It's a 2 foot track located forward
of the genoa track. Here's a pic of the jib track forward of the
genoa track.

It's located inboard of the slide storages. Here's a pic of the teak
cover for the jib track.

Same type of backing plate and install. The nicely varnished teak
cover is hollowed out for the track fasteners. It is held in place by
3 flat head machine screws which are tapped into the backing plate.
Any questions, just holler.

Dennis,
My 35-1 has never had inboard sheeting, something I've
contemplated adding. What did you do for backing under the deck
for the tracks?

Recommend 4:1 if you're considering these.
