Genoa Track Car , Does anyone know who made this ?

[Jeanneau Chris]

Hi Guys

I would appreciate any help I can get with identifying the maker of my Genoa Track system. The boat is a 2008 Jeanneau SO32i

I want to get some spares and not sure where to look, I think I have seen this logo on my genoa car, in the picture before but I can't remember it

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks

AFAIK the track from different manufacturers comes in standard sizes, so your replacement genoa car does not necessarily have to be of the same brand, but just be compatible with the same size track.
The the item photographed, with its logo, does look familiar to me, though. I would say, from having previously sailed almost exclusively on boats of French manufacture, almost certainly it is French. You could try entering the search term "Chariot de genois" or "avale de genois"and click on images, then trawl down through the pictures until you find a similar item.

IYE Did X track, but their collapse must pre-date your boat by quite a bit.

Was looking for a traveller car a while back, but the price was insane when I found one.

I replaced the Genoa cars on my boat a few years ago and used the Barton cars which have performed admirably. A said the prices of some of the cars
were insane.

Most Genoa Track system are tee shape track being either 1 " (25mm) or 1 1/4" (32mm) top width.

The car was made by Amiot.

Sure about IYE collapse? I have an IYE mainsheet track dating from late 1980s and I was able to order end caps, which were missing, from them in 2014.

I think you will find that on Bartons 32mm track the top section is 5mm, while on many other systems it is 6mm.

I'm not, there was a thread on here a while ago saying they had and I couldn't find them at the time.

Duh sorry, missed earlier post.

As above, the car was made by Amiot which became Goiot which became Plastimo

I had some luck getting Amiot spares from Plastimo in the UK after enquiring via Goiot in France

I replaced a set of genoa cars with Barton ones a couple of years ago. The originals may have been IYE many years ago. The Barton ones came with plastic inserts presumably to make up the section discrepancy.
