Trysail Switch System
The Trysail Switch allows the mainsail and trysail to share a single 
track, greatly reducing weight aloft. This asymmetrical switch installs 
above the standard system and provides a crossover for trysail cars to 
utilize the mainsail track. The trysail cars are loaded at deck level and 
travel past the gooseneck and flaked mainsail onto the mainsail track. 
Switching of the cars is totally automatic; only trysail cars can travel 
onto the trysail track, while the mainsail cars pass through to the stan-
dard switch and storage tracks.
Track 
Use standard Switch system T-Track (see pages 149 and 151). 
The track’s compound bend wraps around the mast section so
cars pass next to the mainsail cars on the storage tracks, past the 
gooseneck and down to the deck. There crew can safely load the try-
sail onto the track and raise the sail, leaving the mainsail flaked on the 
boom.
The compound track bend is determined by installer. Cars must not be 
under load in curved section. 
About Switch T-Track Battcar systems: See feature pages at beginning 
of this section.
The Trysail Switch system integrates 
with the Switch T-Track Battcar 
system by sharing a single mast 
track to reduce weight aloft.
