Dear Eric: I hope that you find some sail track, but until you do find it I
would suggest the following cheap substitute. I suggest you tie a rope
through the clew cringle and around the boom to hold the clew down to the
boom. This rope is in addition to the outhaul. That is the way my model
sailboat resolves the problem and what I intend to do with my P-15 this
spring. I don't have any jiffy reefing gear at the end of my boom that would
inhibit the movement of the rope around the boom, therefore I suspect it is
going to do me as well as the sail track option.
