I have a 37 and have seen drawings with short jib tracks set forward on the
cockpit coaming, just inside and above the main jib tracks. I have extra
jib cars and track laying around and am considering adding these, but have
heard they really don't make a difference.
Do others use these? Wha
My 35/3 has them. Yes light air. Less than 10 knots you will point higher.
Even with a 135 they help.

Pete,
I have them and love them. In wind under 12kts they are the bomb. We point
several degrees higher when we use them. I can only sheet my #1 to them.
They are too far aft for my #2 (142%).

You might look at the hull form of the 30-1. I have noticed when powering or
when sailing fast that my stern drops into the water and there is a lot of
turbulence behind the boat, which must be creating a bunch of drag. I have
dreamed of adding a scoop to raise the overall length to about 33 fee
I spent 35 years just keeping Honey in bristol condition. At the end of the
day, I should have bought a new boat every 5 years as it would have been
less expensive...

Hi Pete,
Our boat has the inner tracks, but we haven't taken the time to evaluate them.
I'm told they are supposed to be used in light air when you want a big belly in
the sail. The inner track lets you tension the leech properly with less on the
foot so the shape is fuller down low. The usable
Hi Richard,
Your observations are good.
These comments are from a table in Skeene's Elements of Yacht Design
discussing effects of IOR:
Snub stern: general effects - reduces weight in end giving small trim
forward and may give boat unbalanced look. Effect on rating - no
change to slightly lo
I put the garhauer adjustables on Firefly (27-III) with excellent results.

Hi Gary,
We had two boats at the Club with similar treatments.
A Hobie 33 that the owner did a gorgeous job of fairing in an
enclosed sweeping reverse transom (which we called a drake's tail)...
but it ruined the boat for one design racing.
The other is a Santa Cruz 50 with a bolt on sugar scoo

Interesting comment " my crew did not want to experiment". Another

I have a 37 and use the inside track in light air with the 150. I does make a

On my C&C 24, when we have days like that we "slowly" sail across Lake Champlain
