Hey, I know what a draft stripe is on a mainsail and how to read it but
if you'd pay attention I was asking why the line on the jib? On a main
you have the boom so you can adjust all three corners of the sail to
affect its shape. On a jib, however, you don't really have the option
of an outhaul or a downhaul (sliding gooseneck, vang, or Cunningham)
so there is really no way to set the draft. The draft is what it is
depending
on the cut of the sail mostly and the position of the jib car in small
part
along with the point of sail.

Bwaaaaahahahhahahhahahahahaaaaa!
Cappy you're killing me!!
Bwaaahahahahhahahahaaaa!

Now for the first lesson.
What is the similarity between the sliding gooseneck, cunningham and
the downhaul on a headsail?
What is the similarity between the vang and the luff tension and car
position on a headsail?

Wh do we vary luff sag on a headsail?

Think carefully, you shattered reputation depends upon the answers.

Now, if one were using a club-footed jib it could be adjusted a little
more like the mainsail so my question of what the stripe is for on
the jib was answered I believe by snotty replies like to look at and
to be a gimmick. It seems to me to be pretty useless.

Cappy the stripe serves exactly the same purpose on both headsail and
main. I've also seen then on spinnakers, moreso with assymetrics.

S.Simon - maybe the real function of s draft stripe on the jib is only
to match the one on the main?
Bwaaahahahhahaaa! Maybe you should have aasked for a purple one to
match the cushions?

Didn't look at the forward pic as the one I looked at too way too long

load. But, I can tell by the draft stripe that the sail has too much
draft.

Jesus Cappy, a few hours ago you didn't know what the stripe was for,
now you're an expert on reading them.

For out information just how deep should the sail be in light air with
an easily driven boat like Ella on flatter water, and just where
should that max draft be.

Theoretically of course.
