It looks like the fairlead is too far inboard and is distorting the clew. What were the telltales doing? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

The cabin top pulleys were intended for a 100% working jib. This one is a bit oversized. Not perfectly set, but too nice of a day to complain about it. Richard |

I've found that on at least a couple of times.. where the self-tacking jib track just didn't extend out far enough. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
