[quote=turbohobo]And That was why I converted to a furling jib. I was not too sure of the term "wire luff jib", if that refers to a jib with a wire shroud running up the jib luff, then you have to make sure that the shroud is fixed to the sail using either 1/4 shackles top and bottom, or by using line to attach the head and tack of jib to the top and bottom thimbles, then as HULLFLYER suggests, look at a H16 jib setup, same system, the H16 has a block attached between upper and lower forestay with the jib halyard running through the block, jib has hanks on jib luff top and bottom, hank jib onto forestay, connect halyard, hoist jib, attach tack of jib to 10 hole shroud adjuster, use small block on tail of halyard for 2:1 downhaul, adjust for sailing conditions.
