There was a time when it seemed almost out of fashion, replaced by a convenient but technically inefficient fixed point. But the jib trolley, at a time when authentic, true performance sports boats are making a comeback, seems to be itching to take back the whole scene. And not just the simple jib trolley, but also solutions taken from the world of real racers that can be adapted to that of thoroughbred performance cruisers as well.
We got a concrete example from the Grand Soleil 48 Race, which mounts a transverse carriage on the deckhouse without giving up longitudinal adjustment, effectively offering for all intents and purposes the possibility of 3D adjustment as in the photos we show you.
