set and forget?
no

to clarify:
i am always attentive and there are times i cleat the jib off
usually not
in most days of up to 20n wind i don't need to
they stay where they are set.

to answer your question: when the wind freshens and the jib needs to be
sheeted in
well ****.......i sheet it in

boats coming out in 2 weeks
i'll probably end up taking one last hard sail on her before then.
thanks for the interest

scribbled thusly:

on my boat, i don't cleat the jib
i take enough turns around the cleat to allow it to friction slide based
on
wind conditions
if the wind picks up the jib "automatically" releases

A set and forget jib......wonderful.
What do you do when the wind freshens and the jib needs sheeting in?
