Hi, we bought a 2012 470 with no previous experience. We dont have a clue of how the jib is hoisted or temsioned. We have a cheap looking rope halyard, a cable with a pin on one side and a tensioning little rope on the other and we have a cable attached with a T to the mast and a ring on the other that is a meter short to the tack holes in the front of the boat.
Appart of that there is a sloppy forestay with a shockcord.
We know now that one of the cables is passed through the sail but not sure which and how it is connected to the rope halyard.
I have sailed in quite a few boats and I'm lost on how to solve this.
Thanks for any help.
