DogTracks - Etchells Jib Track System - fully assembled
Released in July 2020, this complete system allows you to achieve tighter sheeting angles on your Etchells.
Designed with simplicity in mind for the average sailor, it allows for a wide range of sheeting angles with one-string control
Product Features
Achieve a tighter sheeting angle on your etchells - into 7 degrees off centreline
Allows wide sheeting also - out to 12 degrees
Jib will retain very similar twist and camber through the entire range of the track.
Low profile design - the track follows the camber of the cuddy as it goes outboard
Lightweight but very stiff and stable - each moulded item weighs only 300 grams
Complies with Etchells class rules, which stipulate that recessing into the shape of the deck for the sheeting of sails is disallowed.
12 Month structural warranty on the moulded items
Full assembly includes pre-fitted track, all fittings for the top of the deck and a fully dimensioned installation manual
