Track to aft edge of foremast...?

[Heli-Pilot]

Ian, Prudence is a staysail schooner; ergo no gaffs, hoops, wishbones etc.

A "feather," huh Brion; I'll rmember that term. The 7/8" stainless track I have is fairly old but in very nice shape. In fact, I removed it from Prudence's mainmast when we re-rigged her a couple years back. Though I wouldn't mind using the Schaefer product, it's kind of nice to be able to use something I already have and save the money saved for something else.

The starboard is not as dense as Delrin, but it does have a UV inhibitor. And, not only to ease the installation, I was planning on drilling the holes in the starboard just a bit oversize to possibly releave lateral stress on the starboard and have it mainly taken by the fasteners and track.
