new to sailing

I just recently purchased a 35 foot schock and have taken it sailing about ten times. The jib track on the front stay has split at the top to about ten feet down, I am wondering what the best way to fix it is also it appears most of the running rigging needs to be replaced. All the advice I can get is much needed. Also how would I go about replacing the track and rigging. It does not have roller furling

Replace one item at a time, each payday. This means in no time, you'll be back to new! I was doing that routine before I retired and it worked awesome.

I would simply replace your jib track that split. Can you figure out the manufacturer? A repair there on a already weakened item would never be the same, and I don't think you'd be able to sleep at night in a storm knowing that it was patched back together.

By jib track, don't you mean the furler foil (if you have a furling jib)? If so, all current manufacturers should be able to provide replacement parts for their furlers.

welcome to sailnet, this is an excellent place to complain about the high costs associated with sailing.
