There is a headboard car for the top of the sail, batten cars to anchor the luff edge of your battens, reef car(s) for the tacks of your reef points, and various intermediate cars to "fill in the gaps" between the batten pockets. The track is installed without the need to un-step your mast, making installation a breeze.

Once installed your mains'l will be much easier to hoist, it will drop the instant you cast off the halyard, and the sail will stack more compactly than you are used to. A short stack will ease installation of your mains'l cover at the end of the day. Compatible with our CatPack mains'l storage system.

This system is sold by the foot of track. The price includes all of the appropriate hardware for your boat as listed above as well as the track itself.

If ordered in conjunction with a new Catalina Direct Offshore Full Batten Mains'l, installation of the hardware on the sail is free.

1) Before ordering, you must determine the appropriate track shape that matches your mast. Although you might expect we would know the correct shape, there have been a surprising number of times over the years when a customer was surprised to learn that his mast was not the boat's original mast. Too much money is involved here for any of us to make any assumptions. Please order the free measuring gauge kit found below under "Required and Related Products" before ordering your batten car and sailtrack system.
