	I have just orderred, and received, Genoa cars from Lewmar. The tracks on my 2008 built 320 are size 1. But be aware that there is not enough room between the tracks and the windows for a "TB" (Torlon Balls) car. I therefore had to buy the "SL" (Sliding Rod) cars giving less performance/more friction with the cars strained. I bought this combination: 29441513 29471035 + a set of clam cleats to be mounted somewhere near the cockpit. 29104104 29104100 Pictures of the installation will probably be publish in the 320 section when complete within the next few weeks...

Thanks for your info it does help much. I just went to the boat and seen that I also need size 1 and have the same problem I only can use the SL. There is only between 1.5 to 2.5 cm from the rails to the windows. Do you have picture to see how do I have to install them?

	If you are planning for just a genao 3 (108%) there is a difference between the 320 and the 350. The shrouds on the 350 are closer to the genaotrack. This makes problems sheeting a genao 3 on the 350 without doing anything with the genaotraks... I have after some testing ended with the sheet between the lower and the intermediat/upper shrouds... Not at all good, but better than both inside and outside the shrouds. The best solutions I think is to have inhaul, but I dont have this yet... The point in this case is that with just a genao 3 there is noe much room for sliding the genaocar, it is mostly placed as fare forward possible... to avoid to much pressure on the shrouds... So I just have the size 1 car, nothing else... Edited by bjoris - 10 April 2010 at 22:09

	Hi, Sorry to bother you, but wonder if you can point me in direction of the pictures of your genoa car installation? I have just ordered genoa and want to see best way to set up the cars to bring sheets back into cockpit. Many thanks Geoff
