Can we put a 135 % roller reefing head sail on 2001 hunter 340. If so do you have to install new tracks?

The factory supplied 110 is probably as big as you can go and use the existing track. A 135 would be sheeted outside of the shrouds. Therefore, I don't know where you would put the track, and I don't think a track would be particularly helpful because, with the sheets outside of the shrouds, you would be forced to have a wide sheeting angle with/without a track. Rather than a 135, why not go with a cruising spinnaker?

You can squeeze in a 118 jib which will give you some added performance. We did ours in Kevlar.
