Question for John Brady:

Were you able to move your track forward by 3 hole increments? Was the curve in the track constant enough that the track still fit the shelf in the coach roof/deck?

The reason I ask is that I plan to remove, and rebed my genoa tracks and install backing plates this off-season.

I added a Garhauer adjustable fairlead car system this season. Because the forward control block mounts on the track and the fairlead car itself is long I lost use of about the front foot or so of track. Now my #3 does not sheet correctly. I need the car to go another 6" forward or so.

I also would like to get rid of some of the unneeded track at the aft edge, because it only creates a pain in the ass (literally) and snags things.

I figured if I could move the entire track forward both problems could be solved (well will still have to cut some of the track off.)

My biggest concern is the curve of the track no matching the curve of the deck.
