I would love a tides track as 90% of my sailing is solo (About 250% more than last season) I can hoist the main on my 37 from the cockpit except for the final Only 1 block at. Foot of mast straight shot to winch. Issue I have is dropping and stacking solo amd why I really want the tides track too! But I was Quoted 3 boat $ bucks for that system so other priorities first :(
