Can someone advise how long the jib car track is on a Mackay 470? I obtained the Harken p/n 2707 but they have several different lengths from 0.6m to 2.5m. Thanks in advance.
The twing system was just about as popular as the track back in the 1980s, but not many use it today. Mackay still offered it when I last looked at their order form a couple of years ago, but it's not there anymore. The padding/risers on your lead blocks are very likely homebuilt, though.Is that how MacKay outfitted their boats? I believe this hull is a mid '90's build.
Your pole was made by (of course!) Goldspar of AustraliaThat gold spin pole is what I have, haven't found the end fittings though, I ordered a pair of Selden fittings from Mackay but they were too small.
