The answer on jib sheets
This has got to be the way to do it for roller jibs or other headsails
you don't need to detach for quick sheet changes. With the trick I've been trying to dredge out of my memory, it is very clean. http://home.maine.rr.com/rlma/Strider0603.htm#sheet The clump of rope (which will be smaller with the actual sheets) could still give you a good rap on the noggin but it actually pads the hardware in the corner of the sail. Knots right at the clew should also be less painful than bowline knots which can pick up some extra flick speed due to the slack. -- Roger Long |
