HOLLOW PIN GENOA CARS
120, 150 mm
With this genoa car, the body and sheave remain in alignment with the clew of the sail by articulating
from side to side on a hollow pin with the sheet passing through the pin’s center.
This type of arrangement reduces the height of the sheet over the deck and the side load on the
track.
Two stainless steel “T” track cars (running on nylon inserts) are linked together by the main structure.
The stainless steel body car articulates from side to side ±90°.
The car is fitted with a 120 mm or 150 mm sheave that runs on a “Composite Fibre” bushing.
