Try shifting the jibsheet turning block further forward. This will pull the
leech tighter

The jib has a wire along the front. It's all rusty and the sail is
stained. It needs a leech line. The leech flaps
when going upwind. It's about impossible to roll up the jib. The wire's
too stiff. If I roll the mainsail it won't
fit in the bag. It's too long. It's easier to stuff them. They're not for
racing. They're colorful for day sailing
around. They look OK from a distance. They get smoother after a couple
hours up.
