There is a parts list on the main website, if you're a class member log in, go to Class Members -> Documents -> Technical Documents -> S2 Parts List.

For the plastic tracks, the current person to reach out to is mgreggfam at att dot net, phone 502 645 1385, Mickey Gregg is the name.

Lots of other parts listed there too.

Thanks for the info- I had missed that section of the web page.

And I wish this site would have more activity - a busy page is a sign of a strong class.

And a strong class means that all of our boats are worth more $

Agree, it would be nice to see more traffic. There is a facebook group that seems to have a lot of people on it asking questions. I'm not much for facebook though, so...

I like to imagine everybody is busy sailing their boats at the moment. Mine is on the hard this summer for a few maintenance items (and boycotting an awful marina ;-)). Hoping to get it in the water later this summer, or next summer at the very latest. I did have a recent fun bit, rebuilding the transmission on my yanmar inboard -- just reinstalled it and got everything aligned, control cables hooked back up. That was a chore ;-).

I got the stock bar from McMaster Carr and routered out the groove myself. Check dimensions. I'm not at the boat to know exact.
