Staysail Sheet Tracks

I am thinking about adding staysail sheet tracks to IDUNA.

Is it worth the expense and do they help with sail trim??

I would say yes to the trim part and thus probably also to the expense. I have posted a couple of pictures of my stas’l and jib sheet tracks and blocks.
Forgot to mention I have (2) sizes of jib and stas’l, so for that reason and for the different points of sail I find the track very useful.

Iolaire:

Thank you for posting the photos. The BCC staysail sheet blocks are located on the cabin top. Apparent the larger Falmouth 32, places the staysail blocks on the deck near the cabin’s side. I suspect, the location of the sheeting blocks on the deck provides a better sheeting angle than the BCC’s.
