The trysail switch allows the mainsail and trysail to share a single track, greatly reducing weight aloft. This asymmetrical switch installs above the standard system and provides a crossover for trysail cars to utilize the mainsail track. Switch system track is machined or extruded from 6061-T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodized for a long-lasting surface. Clear-anodized aluminum is available, but provides less protection than hardcoat anodizing.
