Re: jammed jib sheets


 

Wrap a piece of sail cloth around the mast over the Highfield Lever area and seal with velcro

Hi folks!

It's fine when there is a crew to handle the situation, but I find that
when single handed, the jib sheets are apt to get jammed down between
the deck and the mast at times. This makes life more than a little
difficult, especially on a breezy day when there is plenty to do already.

Probably what is needed is a sort of gaiter that can be attached after
hoisting the mains'l or perhaps by pushing a piece of soft foam into the
gap each side of the mast. Had anyone any better ideas ?

Best wishes, Dafydd (W1491)
