I have thought that many times myself. Because of the location of the track, the car only goes back so far. The lead needs to go back about 4-6 inches, it pulls down more than aft. I suppose I could just reposition the track.... keep some of the present mounting holes and just add a few more to move it back. The car never goes forward, it just doesn't work there. The way it is now I really can't flatten the stays'l the way I'd like. I tend to only fly the stays'l on a reach though, or without the jib...
