Yes. I've had a Strong Track mainsail system for five years. It has worked
well, though today it's not as friction-free as it was when new. At some
point, I'll need to buy a new track. Probably not for a few years, though.
The Strong Track system is not as friction-free as are the roller-bearing
cars (like Harken Battcars), but it's much less expensive and much lighter
in weight. I recommend it.
