So...I FINALLY got around to installing my new 2-piece jib halyard that I ordered to the handbook's dimenions. And I've only got one thing to say...What The Heck Is Up With That!?!?!?
Maybe I have it installed wrong. I hope I do. Although I don't see how I could have. It seems to me that in order for this arrangement to work, the jib halyard would have to be about half as long as it is. But if it was, then you couldn't lower the halyard low enough to be able to attach it to the jib.
Anyone know what gives with this?
Unless someone can give me a good reason for having a two piece arrangement in the first place, I think I'm going to got to a single jib halyard and be done with it.
Also, for what it's worth...the length called out in the manual for the centerboard control line is about half of what it really needs to be.....
