Hi Dennis again,

Sorry i didn't include enuf info: "vegan lorax" is a 1988 p-15, sail #
1342, hull # 1673 (don't ask why, i don't know, that's how i bought it).

FWIW, my hatch doesn't slide well either. I plan on getting the good
tracks from im sooner or later. the hatch, when fully forward, sticks out
of the end of the aluminum track and the genoa sheets hang up on the
corners usually....ugh! i avoid that by not pushing the hatch all the way
forward...but i am in the market for new slides!
