[Rhodes22-list] Out Haul Car

[Art Czerwonky]

Maybe this is far-fetched, Charles, but there might be some space between the boom track 'slider' and the boomtop 'channel' to allow positioning a slick surface between the two, acting like a lubricant would. Post a picture of your metal outhaul piece and we could cogitate when convenient.

The attached photo shows a very old car, mostly stainless steel if I’m not mistaken. While this is obviously very durable, the metal seemed to not slid very well in the boom. A few years ago, I made the car at the bottom out of (I think) nylon. This worked very well until last week. As I was bringing in the sail, the bottom portion split off. 

While I can bring back the old car for use. And I can fabricate another car like the nylon one. I’m wondering what the current design of out haul car is. Can anyone share what design they have on their boat, please?
