I'm an older guy, but pretty new to sailing. When solo sailing, in my case a J-22, does everyone run their jib sheets to the back and use guides and clutches in the back to control the jibs? That's how the Catalina Capris 22' were rigged in my last boat club. Now, I just joined a club with J-22's and only one boat in 3 or 4 has any form of clutch in the back. Sorry for my inexperience, but do people solo by jumping over the traveler to adjust the jibs at the front of the cockpit? Or are most of these being used by people sailing with a crew?
