Anyone know of a source for some "C-track"? I need to decide on what I am going to use to hold the front edge of the dodger and also the bimini to the traveler arch. The usuall Lift-the-Dot snaps are not as waterproof or as strong as a bolt rope track but I have not been able to find any. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

I'm a sailmaker, and we call it caravan annex track! Over here in Australia, you can get an extruded PVC version of it, that bends around compound curves really nicely, and with properly spaced fastenings, is very strong. Andrew. Andrew.

An Aussie's "caravan annex track" is an American's "Trailer molding". We are truly people of a common heritage separated by a common language.

I suppose I used the PVC track.... it was white plastic. After scoring it w/ sandpaper, I was able to bond it w/ epoxy.

I've used both - the extruded PVC does go around curves nicely, but a really strong wind or wave can pop out a bolt rope because the extrusion isn't strong as the aluminum. If you go with aluminum, find out the alloy; should be 6000 series. -- Evan Gatehouse you'll have to rewrite my email address to get to me ceilydh AT 3web dot net (fools the spammers)<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Bolt rope track for dodger?
