Bigger and better
Hi there,
Yeah, 5/8" is too small. 7/8" is big enough, but we've found that it's no longer good enough; to much variability in thickness and width, making it really problematic getting even joints, or having slides fit. My current favorite is the track that Schaefer makes for their Battslide hardware. Beautifully machined, much easier to install and align that the old-style stuff, and you can land it right up against Strong Track or similar, without risking fouling the mainsail. Nice.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
