Recent purchase SC17, Jib sheet issues, help!
Posted: July 30th, 2020, 11:35 am
A recent purchase of SC17 and operation under 10 mph winds produced luft and flapping in the bottom of my jib sheet.
Yes I felt like an amateur as back many moons ago when I owned my first SC17 this was not a problem, some items changed and different vs my first
SC17, like this one has a roller furling. The downhaul has a cleat to tie off the line?
The jib line attachment had a piece of rope with several attachment areas for jib line attachements?
I've tried several attachment areas and still not getting it to fill out properly.
Am I rigging it properly? If someone can take a picture of their set up I'd appreciate it.
Several old articles with references have led to old inaccessible web pages and no pictures.
I know this probably is a recurring question but "a picture is worth a thousand words".
Thanks for your consideration.
