We
will use that track to install a storm trysail track on the mast.
The same stainless rivets we bought for our railings will work on
that, as well.


I hope that you're not planning on using stainless rivets on an aluminum
mast/boom! You're looking at serious corrosion problems if you do that.

Given that all the sail track I have seen is stainless how do you
suggest it be installed on the aluminum mast?
