I recently purchased an 83 Catalina 22' and am having some trouble
rigging for the first time. I am inexperienced with a roller furling
jib and am unclear as to where exactly to attach the jib. Aside from
the rolling forestay itself, there is a thin line, where I assumed I
was supposed to attach the jib, but the line is not tight enough to
stay close to the forestay when the jib is attached. Where do I
attach the jib? Also, when attaching the boom, it hangs very low
unless attached to a small wire hanging from the backstay. Do I keep
the boom attached to the backstay while I'm not under sail, and does
the sail keep the boom hanging high when it is raised? Thank you.
