Genoa low lead car installation

[Team118]

After stepping on the old genoa sheet cars I purchased new ones from Garhauer.

I have searched and searched for something.. a picture...something!

Which way to do they go on the genoa/jib tracks on the Catalina 30?

I installed them both ways with pics. In one, the quick release for the car is headed towards the bow with the clevis pin aft. That picture has the sheet running through it.

The other is opposite with no sheet.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Chris

See picture above. Pin for track goes aft.

Aft, so you don't have to walk around the block to move it when adjusting the sail.

If the pin is at front there is also the possibilty that when loaded, the block will lift front tbe front and pop out.
