The Trysail Switch allows the mainsail and trysail to share a single track, greatly reducing weight aloft. This asymmetrical switch installs above the standard system and provides a crossover for trysail cars to utilize the mainsail track. The trysail cars are loaded at deck level and travel past the gooseneck and flaked mainsail onto the mainsail track. Switching of the cars is totally automatic; only trysail cars can travel onto the trysail track, while the mainsail cars pass through to the standard switch and storage tracks. The compound track bend is determined by installer. Cars must not be under load in curved section. Available in black or clear anodized.
