Barton Marine Genoa Slide w/Loop f/32mm Track

The Barton Marine Genoa Slide with Loop for 32mm Track is a fundamental component for sailors who demand reliable sail control and smooth handling on the water. This slide serves as the connection point between your genoa jib and the track system mounted along your deck, allowing the sail to move freely fore and aft while maintaining secure positioning. Whether you're racing competitively or cruising coastal waters, proper genoa slide selection is critical to performance and safety, as it directly affects how efficiently your headsail tracks and responds to wind conditions.

Engineered specifically for 32mm track systems, this Barton Marine slide features a precision-molded design with an integrated loop that securely fastens to your genoa sheet lead or car system. The loop mechanism allows for quick attachment and detachment without tools, while the slide itself glides smoothly along the track with minimal friction and wear. At just 0.6 lbs, the compact profile (3 × 3 × 8 inches) ensures the slide adds minimal weight aloft while maintaining the structural integrity needed for repeated cycles and variable sail loads across different wind strengths.

Sailors upgrading their rigging, replacing worn hardware, or building out a new boat system will find the Barton Marine Genoa Slide an essential replacement or spare. Compatibility is straightforward for any vessel running 32mm T-track or similar standard extrusion systems—confirm your track dimensions before purchase to ensure proper fit. Having a spare on hand is practical seamanship; a worn or damaged slide can compromise sail trim and make adjustments difficult during critical moments on the water, making this affordable upgrade a worthwhile investment in reliability and performance.
