Thanks Highlander. Turns out that the piece I was missing was actually a bimini mount car with a stop. Went to Dowsar Marine and was able to buy a single to match my other. So now I'm a bit confused where I run the genoa sheets through. Is it okay to move the jib cars to these rails and run the sheets back to the winches? :macm:
