Gay,
I installed a Schaefer 2-foot by 1-inch T-Track (Defender 608932SIL002), a Schaefer T-Track Slide (Defender 602656) and a Schaefer T-Track End Stop (Defender 603241), at the aft end of the track, so I could change the position of my Oxen Block to fit the number of crew: 1, 2, 3, etc.
The single cap at the aft end of the track prevents the slide from coming off the track if I do something stupid, but allows me to easily remove the slide for the winter by sliding it forward.
The track is attached with flat head stainless machine screws of the size recommended by Schaefer, using holes drilled and tapped in the boom.
My notes say the aft end of the track is 42 inches from the aft end of the boom, while the forward end of the track is 66 inches from the front of the boom, but I have not confirmed this by checking the boat.

So Bud,
For the mid-boom main sheeting do you recommend the Harken 205? And do you have a specific placement? Or are you suggesting mid-boom sheeting is generally undesirable?
