Self-tending jibs
I must have missed the description.

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? Regards Donal -- |

Self-tending jibs
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.
