Ronstan RC72504 Series 25 T-Track Composite Slide

The Ronstan RC72504 Series 25 T-Track Composite
Slide is ideal 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 Strength
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 moulded 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.

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 new
Racing’ track has 25mm (63/64″) stop hole spacing for even more
precise control of the car position and sheeting angle.

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.
