I am missing a port side genoa track car and had a local marine parts supplier try to source. Anyone know the brand and where l may get one? Does West Marine have them?

the original manufacture for them is Garhauer
https://garhauermarine.com/
they r ok for the jib but I would up-grade if I was buying new one,s as I already did & I already gave mine too " Beene" so don,t ask lol

PS if BWY took over the mac rights ,they Garhauer may not b able to sell them to u direct !

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?

Check out ur mac manual pge 16 it shows a pic of it & u must run the sheet outside of the shrouds , if u do not have a manual look it up above in resources on this site
