Spinnaker Cars for T-Track

These Spinnaker Cars are designed to fit on standard US (imperial) T-track, unless otherwise noted, and are held in place on the track either by a spring or screw pin, or by means of a line control system. Racing boats, large boats and those stowing their poles on the mast will generally use a line control system, for its ease and handling convenience. Spinnaker Cars are of three primary varieties: Ring Cars for standard Piston pole ends, Toggle Cars for standard Piston pole ends in heavy duty or mast storage applications, and Pin, or Bell Cars to fit the variety of special inboard Spinnaker Pole Ends available. Please note that Ring Cars are not designed for, or recommended for vertical pole stowage applications. Spinnaker Cars are listed here by the Size of the T-Track that they fit on, then by their complexity, and relative strength (in general), in ascending order.
