We have the Garhauer adjustable genoa cars on our C350. They are a great addition and let us easily make adjustments to the headsail fairlead. I got the optional swivel cams with mine. Therefore, I coil the control line and store it under the dodger. Having used it for a season, I think I would prefer a "continuous loop" for the control line. Has anyone rigged a "continuous loop" control line for the Garhauer adjustable genoa cars? If so, how did you do it? Thanks, Jack Friendship C350, #80

continuous loop ?

Never seen anything like that. sounds like more work or expense than it's worth. Do you really think this is a worthwhile project? Why don't you just relocate the cleats, or shorten the line. Here's how I have mine set up, I store the tails in the coaming box.

Contact Garhauer

Give Garhauer a call, if it's been done or thought of, they might know. BTW, you have probably talked to the principles of the company at boat shows -- they are always at their booth (Bill, Bill's wife or their son). Hope this helps...
