Lift Boom Gets a Genny Track

Genoa Track on the gunwale of a sailboat; shown with an adjustable “car”.
Genoa Sheets pass through blocks on the movable “cars” to get the sail shape just right.

Below, a new genny track is mounted to the bottom of our lift boom.

The aft/outboard car (the one with the block or pulleys on it), can slide at will. The car forward of it (to the left) can be set to block or restrict the car to its optimum spot over the outboard bracket.

Loaded up with the weight of the outboard, this track system enables me to slide the hanging outboard “out” to the dinghy OR back “in” to the storage bracket on the transom of the mother boat!

Dock Mate “Mike” of Sharona Two shows how genoa tracks on the sides of his boat enable him to position his aft fenders in just the right spot! Genny Tracks are very versatile for a variety of applications.
