The trouble is there's no turning block. There's only a cam cleat way far back in the cockpit.
I tied a little loop of line to the shroud chain plates. I put the sheet through the loop. It pulls it
down better but not enough. It needs a pulley on the deck about two or three feet forward of
the shroud chain plate. Maybe I need to get somebody to put one on for me. But, maybe it needs
a track too. That way the pulley could slide back and forth and it would work for the jib and for
the genoa. But the genoa doesn't flap. So maybe the cleat in the cockpit by itself is OK for that....


Cheers,
Ellen
