The 29er track is very bendy, they are supplied straight and take on the shape as they are screwed down.  If your jib track is free standing (bolted either end and possibly secured in the middle) then a 49er or RS800 track may be better.

Hi, Thinking of using it on a Cherub. Price and lead times for pre-bent track are high, so I thought a 29er one might work as they are not to dissimilar in size.

I called Ovingtons but they did not know the length, and told me they are supplied straight anyway so not ideal.

I know the tracks are soft and can be bent by hand but it is hard to do it without getting small kinks at the holes.

 
If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right

As the sails are one design i don't think anyone will have measurements, unless they can and measure a boat for you.

Might be best dropping Ovington an email. 

You trying to the put the jib setup on another boat?

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows the size 29er jib? I am particularly interested in the length of the foot, and also how long the self tacker track is.
