CARBON TRACK HS24 GLUED

We’ve just developed a new HS24 track which is supposed to be glued to the mast.
From the great success of our HS22 Carbon Track (page 171) we noticed that the glue-mounted tracks are more and more popular, both on carbon and aluminium masts.

Choice of the track.
22×11 track is designed specifically for HS systems, with fibre sliders. This is the smallest of Full batten tracks, yet it fits racing boats up to 60 ft, thanks to the high resistance and low friction of the HS22 sliders. Download the pdf with all information about 22×11 Antal track, and in particular: track profile, available lengths, available hole distances, available installation tools.

Position of the mast.
Mainly depending on the position of the mast when the track will be installed, one chooses the short or the longer track length. Antal realizes bars lengths of 2 and 3 meters. A 3 meter long track is recommended if the mast is horizontal (non mounted masts), while the 2 meter long track is easier to install when masts are in the vertical position (mast already on the boat). Mounting type. Mounting type depends on the mast’s characteristics. Antal tracks are realized for different types of mounting. Choose a track for slugs in case of masts with groove. Masts without a groove or wooden masts will require installation with screws or glue, being glue a good solution for tracks on a carbon mast. In the sheet information about 22×11 Antal track all technical info about track mounting are available. Hole distance. Available single and double hole distance, for the different demands of ease of installation and holding strength of the track.
