Track 24x16 is more versatile, as it accepts HS, FB sliders or even a combination of them both. The 29x11 track is for FB systems of large boats. Similarly, the 30x13 is the HS system track for large boats.
Full batten systems. Each track profile fits sliders designed only for that track. In particular, what identifies a Full batten system is the track profile and the length of the sliders. Antal Full batten systems are designed to rig boats up to 100’ both cruising and racing. Material and finishing. Antal Full batten tracks are in hard black anodized aluminum plus Teflon coated. Silver anodizing finishing is available only on request.
Length and holes distance. Antal produces tracks good for different kinds of installation: choose a track for slugs in case of masts with groove. Masts without a groove or wooden masts will require installation with screws or glue, being glue a good solution for tracks on a carbon mast. Hole distance. Available single and double hole distance, for the different demands of ease of installation and holding strength of the track. Length. Antal realizes 2 and 3 meters long tracks. Mainly depending on the position of the mast when the track will be installed, one chooses the short or the longer track length. A 3 meters long track is recommended if the mast is horizontal (non mounted masts), while the 2 meters long track is easier to install in case with vertical masts (mast already on the boat).
