Default sail track on a solid mast

Approaching the point of being able to step the fore mast on my schooner. Our sail/rig plan is for a 400 sf gaff fore and 370 sf marconi main w/ 380 sf fore triangle. Probably over complicating things, but in the event that I wanted to switch to a staysail schooner rig I am thinking of putting bronze t track for the sail slides. Fisheries stocks 1" and 1 1/4" track in seven foot lengths. I'm wondering If either of these would be sufficiant to carry the load of the gaff boom? sail slides are availible in both sizes and the PT foundry can make the boom fitting if it will work.

Thanks
Jake
