[Public-List] Jyb track location on foredeck

[Glenn Brooks]

Mike, 

318 is definitely a transition boat - early 1968 build, no working jib tracks, toe rail mounted flush with the deck, but balsa core decks and cockpit. No Masonite coring anywhere that I have found. 

To bad I already stripped and refinished my interior. Sounds like the jyb track could use a cleat or gusset of some sort fiber glassed under the deck to the hull to reinforce the track. Similar to the forward lower chainplates.
