So! Mike, you seem to be getting the drift of my Jibes



Aey! Lad, Grand.
Active Down Haul, some times the sail doesn't sit quite right so a bit of added tension seems to flatten it and take out the wrinkles.. Just think of 4 Skin divers


. I am not the only one to use that method and the style of active down haul varies a bit. In reality that sail could probably use a few extra Battens. The flatter the better, at least according to my understanding. Landyacht may have a better explanation..
Your understanding of quantities is exemplary[}:)]


.
The Jam Cleat is only used on long runs and held in such a way that it can be instantly released. Not the most practical method but it stands me in good stead, however once I get back in the Saddle/Cockpit I hope to find the $$ to purchase a Ratchet Block. One thing I have found with CF Masts is they tend to give warning the machine is about to Cock its Led where by one has time to lear out over said leg and release the JC.
