In Response To: Inhauling jib (Jenny)

Exactly! This starts with new sail$. In Ocala we had the outhaul on hard and used a liitle cunningham. Many sailors including Lowell North say not to worry if you have a liitle luff along the mast (or luff of the main.) When the wind really picks up (Ocala '06) we vang sheeted the main. Beware, this can really test your rig! Where do you put your jib cars? I usually leave them all the way forward. Charley-487
