My boat's getting better thanks to you. I think it was you who said my boat
should have pulleys to pull the jib sheets down. I didn't put on pulleys because
they cost like 80 dollars but I did put on two fair leads made of plastic so now
the jib gets pulled down instead of straight back. It hardly flaps at all anymore.
Hey, and guess what? I can barber haul it now too. :-)
Thanks and hugs.....

Cheers,
Ellen

Just remember, those on-board haircuts by the barber hauler
are not flattering.


Thanks and hugs.....


You're welcome

Yeah, pulleys. You know, those thinga-ma-bobs with the
little wheel inside, for putting a rope thru.

Double yeah! And the ones they wanted to sell me had a spring on the bottom that made it stand up straight.
It swiveled too. It had a bottom part that you bolted to the deck. Very cool but too expensive and strong for
on a little jib like mine. And, it looked like the sheets could get tangled on it. The little plastic fair leads are
smooth and the sheets can't get hung up....

Oh... pulleys... I was thinking Sopranos...
