Thanks Wouter,
Unfortunately in SA we sometimes have to take what we can get, which is expensive enough. The straight Ronstan tracks & cars are stocked by boat shops as they are also used on keelboats for deck-mounted genoa traveller systems, if we want a curved track it becomes a "special" import (special means twice the price.) Some of the Hobie Tigers here are fittted with curved tracks, but one of the guys made up a few by going to an engineering firm and having them bent to the required radius, and made all the mounting fittings himself. I don`t like the look of them, or any of those I`ve seen in pics on the Tornado web-site either. The fact that they stand out on stalks means they are just another thing to break your shins on in a trip around the forestay.

Luckily for me I`m so out of cash right now that I won`t be doing any modifications to the boat in a while - I`ve bought new rudders, but can`t afford the pintles & crossbar etc to fit them to the boat ! Such are the joys of building a house, it`s like someone is holding my wallet upside-down, and won`t stop shaking it.

Cheers
Steve
