It looks like the Harken system is not too far off from the cost of doing it in bronze T track and slides etc. Were you thinking the system B universal slides for the sail slides? It seems like If you put two or three of the bearing slides together or used a headboard slide for the Gaff boom it would work. I really like the 6m lengths it is available in. Potting of fastners, would you recommend a backer of some kind. How do you go about fastner selection with anodized aluminum track being screwed into wood or epoxy? The mast is mahogany of some asian variety. Not super dense like Honduran or super porous like the Phillipian, something in the middle.
Thanks
Jake
