[quote=dennisMe]On my Nacra 5.2 the shock-cord deflects the jib blocks and prevents them from getting stuck at every tack. Wouldn't want to sail without it.
I don't tie the shock-cord to the halyard end though. I have a jam cleat on the front of the mast for that and run the shock cord through a pad-eye that I installed just for that.
Tying it to the halyard end sounds much cleaner though, the less hardware the better![/quote]
