TIDES MARINE MAINSAIL TRACK EFFICIENCY

Published on: 17-04-2024

Since its introduction over 25 years ago by Tides Marine in the USA, this system has proved its worth, with thousands of units installed worldwide.

What sets this track apart from its competitors is that it is custom-machined from a single, flexible piece of high-friction PTFE, which fits into the mast groove from the deck without the need to climb the spar.

Supplied with a set of stainless steel slides, it requires no maintenance. It adapts to all types of sails (full-batten or semi-battened), bringing them closer to the mast for better performance, and doesn't alter the boat's center of gravity with its 500 g/m weight.

In addition to its ease of installation and maintenance, this one-piece track eliminates any risk of blocking the slides, while considerably limiting friction, with a comfort of use similar to that of a ball-bearing system.

Already adopted by a large number of small-crew owners looking for an efficient, robust and economical system, it will meet all your expectations.

To prepare for next season, don't wait any longer and ask for a quotation from your usual sailmaker, rigger or master sailmaker.
