My down haul is a simple 3/16" double braid line tied to the head of
the jib and lead through a block on the stem head and through more
blocks on the toe rail aft to the cockpit. A cleat on the stanchion
next to the cockpit secures the line.

Downhauls are the way to go for jibs. I use my on the
SF bay all the time. It's nice to be able to dowse the
jib without going forward, especially on a small boat.

Is this a system like the one Old Thom posted a while back?
