Ronstan Series 25 T-Track Composite Slide - 102mm (4") for Small Keel and Sportsboats

Series 25 T-Track - Composite Slide - 102mm(4")

For small keel boats and sportsboats T-track jib leads are a great blend of performance and functionality in a simple, efficient package. Composite slide bodies with plunger stops run on anodised aluminium track, and allow quick and easy manual adjustment.

Lightweight
Composite jib lead cars continue the design philosophy of the award winning Ronstan BB and RT Orbit Blocks, with virtually all metal components now replaced with high-tech polymers and fibre equivalents. The car design has been modelled and optimised using finite element analysis and rapid prototyping techniques to achieve maximum strength-to-weight characteristics. Orbit Block models use a Dyneema Link which is 10 times stronger and lighter than steel, to provide the articulated connection between block and car.

Integrated Functionality
The clever 2-piece car body is molded from a composite material that delivers low friction on the alloy track without the need for separate inserts. It also provides the required mechanical strength without the weight and corrosion drawbacks of metal parts. An integrated becket at the forward end of the car suits 2:1 sheet systems and the removable threaded pin allows easy fitting of alternate blocks and accessories.

Low Profile and Compact
Sleek styling and the positioning of the attachment pin provide a low lead aft for the lead block. The Dyneema Link allows full articulation. The plunger stop button has a flush finish and the contoured form of the car eliminates the chance of lines and sails becoming snagged.

Precise Adjustment
The ergonomic plunger stop toggle combined with low friction of the car body allows for easy one-handed adjustment. The toggle is located at the rear of the car for easy access from the cockpit on sports boats and small keel boats. An arrow is located on the side to indicate the position of the stop for repeatable settings. A 'Racing' track has 25mm(63/64") stop hole spacing for even more precise control of the car position and sheeting angle.

The Ronstan Series 25 T-Track with a composite slide is designed specifically for small keel boats and sportsboats, offering a perfect balance of performance, lightweight construction, and ease of use. This 102mm (4-inch) T-track features composite slide bodies with plunger stops that glide smoothly on anodized aluminum track, enabling quick and effortless manual adjustments. Its construction emphasizes durability and minimal weight, utilizing high-tech polymers and fiber composites inspired by the award-winning Ronstan BB and RT Orbit Blocks. The Dyneema Link used in the design is ten times stronger and lighter than steel, providing a reliable articulated connection that enhances overall performance and strength.

The integrated functionality of this T-Track includes a molded two-piece composite car body that reduces friction without the need for additional inserts, ensuring low resistance during operation. The mechanical strength is maintained without the corrosion concerns associated with metal components. An integrated becket at the front of the car is compatible with 2:1 sheet systems, facilitating efficient sail control. The removable threaded pin allows for easy installation of alternative blocks and accessories, providing versatility for different rig configurations.

Designed for a sleek profile, this T-Track features a low lead aft position for optimal line routing and minimal snag points, with the Dyneema Link allowing full articulation. The flush-plunger stop button and contoured car shape prevent lines and sails from catching, reducing potential snags and improving safety. Precise adjustment is simple with the ergonomic plunger stop toggle located at the rear of the car, allowing easy one-handed control and quick setting changes. An arrow on the side indicates the stop position for repeatability, while the 'Racing' track with 25mm (63/64 inch) stop hole spacing offers even finer control of car positioning and sheeting angles.

Constructed from toughened, glass fiber-reinforced nylon, this lightweight slide weighs only 3.8 ounces and can support a working load limit of 500kg (1,100 lbs). Its compact and low-profile design makes it ideal for boats up to 26 feet, providing a reliable and efficient solution for headsail sheet leads. The removable attachment pin accommodates either a Dyneema Link or a shackle, ensuring compatibility with various rigging setups, while the integrated becket simplifies connection to sheet systems. This product is well-suited for sailors seeking high-performance, durable, and easy-to-adjust lead blocks for small keelboats and sportsboats, backed by Ronstan's reputation for quality and innovation.

Features:

• Low profile and lightweight design for easy handling and installation

• Removable attachment pin compatible with Dyneema Link or shackle

• Integrated becket suitable for 2:1 headsail sheet systems
