HARKEN YACHT FITTINGS 40 mm Trysail Switch System
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.
Key Features
- Automatic switching mechanism — only trysail cars can travel onto the trysail track, while mainsail cars pass through to the standard switch and storage tracks
- Hard Lube-anodized cars for durability and low friction
- Hardcoat-anodized track construction
- Switch plate with no moving parts
- Uses standard Switch System T-Track
- Compound track bend wraps around mast section for safe crew loading at deck level
- Suitable for monohulls over 43 m (140') and multihulls over 27 m (90')
The track's compound bend wraps around the mast section so cars pass next to the mainsail cars on the storage tracks, past the gooseneck and down to the deck. There, crew can safely load the trysail onto the track and raise the sail, leaving the mainsail flaked on the boom. The compound track bend is determined by installer. Cars must not be under load in curved section.
