Tom, "hula pie" has the hull stringers as you describe and the track just aft of the companionway. I like it in this position, wish I had a real traveller with a car, sheaves and cams. The track creaks a bit at around 20 knots, just a signal that it's time to reef. I replaced all the screws holding down the track after the heads popped of a couple of them-check yours before it's too late!! Ron Goodspeed 1974 M17 #025
