[quote=Edchris177][quote]Q3 Anyone got a pix of how the jib hallyard fastens at the base of the mast. I am used to the cleats on Hobies to secure that line.. On mine N. 5.2 the sheet is "tied" to the pulley that connects to the wire to raise the jib. Seems like that is wrong.. Where does that line anchor??
It is correct. There is probably a small steel strap eye on the mast. Run a short line from the block,(pulley) down through the strap eye, up to the block, then down to the jam cleat on the mast, gives 2:1 as Yurdle said. Step 60 in the manual explains the two different systems
Q4.. Cant seem to find out how the "pivmatic" piece works on the tiller.. I Like the idea that it helps kick up over obstructions but not sure how it works. Forum folks all recommend adding it.. [/quote]
The pull down line on the rudder goes over a roller on the rudder pivot bolt, then along the arm through the jam cleat of the pivmatic. When the rudder hits, the jam cleat won't let the line slip, so the pivmatic breaks loose from the tiller arm, & pivots upwards via the pin at the end of the pivmatic.
Download the two NAcra manuals from this site. One is newer than your boat, but it shows the rudder assembly better than the older one. Go to Photo Albums/Technical Tips/pg 2 or this link. It will show two icons, select each one in turn. It will show thumbnails of each page. Go to the bottom & download the PDF file, that will give you the entire manual.
