Check the width of your trysail slides before installing the track.. See if
the can be hoisted "behind" the main while it is reefed down or on the boom, without. Ideally the trysail should be able to clear the sail folds and ride above the head board of the main. Often hard to achieve but is the ideal arrangement. This may mean that the lower 'feeder' track will come around to the side of the mast several inches, but that won't effect the trysail once you have hoisted it above the main. This has created a problem with my new fill batten main. The main sail stack is about 4 ft above the boom due to the height of the four batten cars and the intermediate slide cars. (I really have to stretch to reach the head board/halyard). I haven't had my storm trysail made up yet but I may have some problems since my mainsail stack is so high. Good Luck.
