Curved transom mainsheet track for Fairey 14
Still trying to find a curved main sheet track for Maelstrom. I've tried bending a straight stainless one and an aluminium one but no luck. Does anyone have any ideas? Or perhaps an old track that woould fit?

Try posting you requirement on this facebook group, it's surprising just what old bits and pieces members are able to unearth from their "treasure chests".

If you are going to the show I think Allen have a stand. They might be able to help: certainly be my first port of call. "Modern" X track is fairly routinely bent for jib tracks, but presumably you'd like the old stainless steel track bents, which is a bit more difficult I suspect. You probably want to start by sourcing undrilled track so it can be bent before the holes go on.Chrisrjwood wrote:Still trying to find a curved main sheet track for Maelstrom.

We've got a curved traveller track that came off half cut - what size etc do you need?
This went right across the boat behind the thwart but kept ripping our shins!
