Is there access to nut for bolt that holds the headsail traveler track?

Boat is Beneteau 323. Couldn’t find in thread search.

Had to remove end “stopper” from both sides, now need to access under deck area to find and reattach nuts to respective Allen bolts.

On my 323 (a 2004) you can access these fasteners by removing the screws that attach wooden plywood covers in the area under the cabin’s vertical sides and ports on the port side of the boat (sorry for the sloppy ‘unnautical’ language). You may need two persons (one on the outside, the other inside) to secure these connections (Allen head on outside and nuts on the inside). Hope this helps.

Thank you new323owner! (From another new 323 owner, maybe newer).

Confirming what the others have stated. Virtually all of the jib track nuts can be accessed by removing the plywood panels in the headliner. I had a 323 for 17 years and have probably figured our a means of accessing just about everything on that boat.

Thanks Doug, will use this knowledge to re-secure the traveller tracks.

Yup, headliner was easily removed. Washers and nuts reattached.

Thanks!
