While I agree that adjustable tracks won''t make much of a difference on a Bristol 32, I was a little surprised by your comment that you don''t use the adjusters much on your J-36, which is very similar in concept to my Farr 11.6. I find that we use the adjusters all of the time. We use them as wind speeds change both up and down over the course of a leg, or even when out daysailing. Small changes yield pretty big gains in speed or pointing.
