Choosing the Right Track and Cars System for Your Boat: A Guide for New Zealand Sailors

When it comes to upgrading your sailing hardware, one of the most important choices you’ll make is selecting the right track and cars system. Whether you’re racing a dinghy or cruising a yacht, the right system can drastically improve your sail handling, performance, and overall sailing experience.

At Barton Marine NZ, we offer a range of precision-engineered Ronstan ball bearing track systems, including the 14mm, 19mm, and 22mm options. These systems are designed to provide smooth operation with minimal friction, even under heavy loads, ensuring effortless sail control and easy adjustments.

Here are a few things to consider when choosing the right track and cars system for your boat:

  1. Boat Size and Application: For small boats and dinghies, the 14mm ball bearing track system is ideal. For larger cruising yachts, the 19mm or 22mm systems provide the strength and durability needed for heavier sails.

  2. Corrosion Resistance: Since New Zealand waters can be harsh, especially in coastal areas, corrosion-resistant materials like the ones used in Ronstan’s track systems ensure long-lasting performance, even in saltwater conditions.

  3. Ease of Use: The low-friction design of Ronstan’s ball bearing cars means fewer adjustments are needed, giving you smoother and more efficient sailing during your race or cruise.

By selecting the right track and cars system, you’ll improve your boat's performance, reduce maintenance, and enhance your overall sailing experience.
