That is normally under dodger so will not use unless I take that off for racing but would need to see what we are speaking of as I have never used a 2nd track either ? So just attach a second line and trim hard without backwinding the main right ? Thanks all John C s/v halcyon

Genoa Track Yes, that's it. Sounds like it's for eeking out a few more degrees to windward and you can switch to/from like you would a barber hauler by attaching a temporary secondary sheet to the sail and trimming with that while the primary goes slack.

Genoa Track Luke - I use the inner track for my light #1. it's a bit of a nuisance since the car is not easily adjustable like the primary jib cars. I still like it and believe it gives us a little more point. to change jib cars to the primary track, either for the same sail or a headsail change, just run a second sheet (IE a changing sheet) through the new car and back to your secondary winch. If you don't have secondaries, let go of the primary and grind in on new sheet as quick as you can. If the main is getting backwinded too much it's a sign that the inside track shouldn't be used. If you're overpowered or at the wind limits of the sail is also a sign to change sails & track. Hope that helps.

I did have a question about the 'upper' genoa tracks on the 35-3 that are about 2' long and mounted on the cockpit coamings just aft of the cabin. I assume that these are for sheet leads with the 155% headsail up and pointing as high as possible. My question is how do you transition from using a block here do the lower main track when you fall off to a reach or downwind? Any advice would be appreciated.
