Will, Thanks for the quick reply. Can you tell me if I have to change out the existing cars to Lewmar and add some sort of control lines if I use the Lewmar tracks? Great idea on the mounting but did not see any holes for locking my existing cars in place. The current track is 1 inch and the lewmar is very close in width not sure if my Schaefer cars will work. Sorry if the questions are dumb. Also, thanks on the head sail but I was looking for a used sail in good shape. Regards Chris
