We are pleased to introduce a totally re-styled and engineered range of Genoa Cars to the global yachting market. This new launch for 2025 sees several years of research and development come together in a range of products that provide exceptional durability, functionality and sleek contemporary style for sailors and OEMs worldwide.
Crafted in strong light-weight aluminium for both pin or towable versions, the new Genoa Cars are anodised in a choice of contemporary Black and Spectro silver colours, suiting multiple uses and tastes. 25mm and 32mm GT options are available to fit existing track layouts. An exceptional heavy duty (HD) 32mm option is available for larger craft and higher load capabilities. A key point for riggers and boat owners is that inserts are available to ensure the new Barton cars are compatible with any track used on yachts globally , so removing and installing new track on existing boats is unnecessary.
The new range raises the bar for performance and durability with high grade aluminium anodised for superior protection in the marine environment, combined with corrosion resistant nylon inserts for long term, low friction and smooth running. The pin down versions feature simple-to-grip plungers which are easy to operate in sailing gloves or with wet fingers while maintaining the sleek streamline design that resists line snags or catches.
The 25mm cars are ideal for yachts ranging from 7-10m (23-33ft) with a maximum break load of 2280kg (5016lbs) and for use with line diameters of up to 16mm (5/8”), whilst weighing just 247g (8.7oz) and 297g (10.5oz). The towable track end with becket takes lines up to 8mm (5/16”) and weighs a mere 121g (4.3oz).
The 32mm cars suit yachts from 9-15m (30-49ft) with a maximum break load of 3280kg (7216lbs) for the GT versions and 5970kg (13134lbs) for the HD versions. They also take lines up to 16mm (5/16”) and have the capability of taking 2 lines simultaneously allowing for a multitude of rigging needs. They weigh between 561g (19.8oz) and 820g (28.9oz).
