Stus-List 33-2 Spinnaker Track on Mast
Good day everyone! Here is a follow up to my thread on getting Tryfan setup for symmetrical… [https://cnc-list.com/empathy/thread/ZTKX7WZTWTNJOHJJ2QF6BBSIOE6ZBGXE](https://cnc-list.com/empathy/thread/ZTKX7WZTWTNJOHJJ2QF6BBSIOE6ZBGXE "https://cnc-list.com/empathy/thread/ZTKX7WZTWTNJOHJJ2QF6BBSIOE6ZBGXE";) First of all - confession - I did something stupid :-( I purchased 1.25” T-Track and while mounting I realized I was drilling (and tapping) into plastic cover for slot extrusion on the front of the mast. I did end up putting all 21 screws and will work OK in very light to light air but need to redo the work to make solid. I suspect this is the “Z-Spar” mast (did a little research) and that the extruded slot on the front of the mast will accept some sort of car for the inboard end of the pole. So as far as I can see my options are as follows: 1. Track down a car (and hardware) that will fit in the slot (this would likely need blocks with cleats as well 2. Figure out a way to mount the T track with spacers, so I can actually drill / tap into the mast. I read something about an inset, but could only be mounted when the mast is down (don’t want to do that). What about teflon spacers that are the thickness of the depth of the slot that I could slide up from the bottom of the track - 1 for each screw, and just have longer screws? Anybody been down this road before have any suggestions? Thanks! Andy Please show your appreciation for this list and the Photo Album site and help me pay the associated bills.

Stus-List Re: Defender Annual Sale
Well, I did refuse delivery on the black Triton, good suggestion - I hope it all washes out. I would expect I would have to reimburse Defender for the free shipping, which is ok. However, in the interim, I get this Sale email from Hamilton Marine today, (Thanks Don Kern) they blew Defender and everyone else's price for the Pettit Triton out of the water. Of course the Blue is back-ordered, but I am a patient man. The sale ends tonite, BTW.

You shouldn't have to reimburse them for shipping the wrong item.
