Hi everyone,

I've been trying to buy a couple of doodads to hook my bimini to ... I think they are called "sail track cars." They slide onto the toe rail (I think that's what it's called), and you can adjust their position like the fairlead blocks for the jib sheets.

Here's what they look like:

What size is the rail on a '77 Catalina 25? I thought it was 1 inch, but I already bought one track car that is too small ... it is supposed to be 1 inch.

What's the scoop?

Thanks!

The track should be 1" x 1/8".

Did you measure the car that didn't fit? Could it be a smaller car and not a 1" x 1/8"?
