What's the reason for the black line on the jib?

Its so you can see the chord shape of the sail... Try slacking or tensioning
the haliyard and observe the way the curve of that line
changes...
Moving the sheet lead will change the twist and set of the sail
and try to lose the slight hook in the leech.....its not good......slack
the leech line off some . .
If you would only stop waffling on about how great you are and take a little
time to learn..you might get the best from your new sails

.. they look like they COULD be a surprisingly good cut... (for the price)...
cartainly adequate...

Enjoy!
