Adjustible Genoa Leads, Track & Teflon

Line controled adjustable Genoa leads are real nice to have both for saftey and performance. Besides being able to adjust shape for wind conditions they are a big help when reefing. Besides the obvious benefits of furlers there is a safety issue in not having to leave the cockpit to reef. What''s the point then if you have to leave the cockpit to adjust your cars in heavy weather after reefing your jib? I believe Garhauer makes a line controled genoa car for 1" track. Check the thickness though this can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. If your track has a lot of curve to it you might have a problem but Guido at Garhauer will know if their product will work. You can check out their web site. Garhauermarine.com
