[C320-list] Jib cars

[jim brown]

The pressure on the genoa will start the car moving back but not all the way. I tried bungees but they didn't work. I run a line back to a the end of the track through a small block and then back to the cockpit. Takes just a light pull to move the car all the way forward. In addition I would highly recommend the optional cam cleats available with the Garhaurer system. Adds $100 but well worth the price-they slide right on the track.

I also use the Garhauer system and it works well on moving the cars forward. However I have not found a satis factory solution on bringing the cars back when rounding a mark.  I tried to elastic, bungee cord and finally just went with a thin line, anybody have a solution?
