Bob, If you install the inner tracks, I suggest you make up an "outer sheet" (or Barber hauler or whatever folks want to call it). Touche's is a length of line with a snap shackle on the end.
I rig it to the toe rail with a snatch block just a bit forward of where the primary sheet crosses over the toe rail. Rigging it slightly forward will reduce twist as the sail is eased. Run it outside the lifelines and clip the snap shackle to the clew of the headsail. I then take the outer sheet to the secondary winch. As soon as the primary sheet begins to bend over the lifeline, I take tension on the outer sheet and ease the primary sheet. It opens the slot and improves speed slightly. You can play the two sheets to move the clew in or out. Our boats like to "breathe". The snap shackle makes it easy to remove if you need to tack. -- Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
