[quote=the-renovator]damienb, have you had the opportunity to look at a later model P16? the jib block pigtails are attached through a small hole drilled through the hull just below the ports.

The pigtail is 18" long pull to pull, the problem is that the pigtail must be inserted through the hole and then a slug swaged onto the end of the pigtail as a "stopper", silicone is then applied around the pigtail on the inside of the hull to waterproof, one has to find a method to swage the stopper professionally. I am in the process of renovating a P15 and adding a jib as this boat is a uni-rig, I plan to use the above method to install jib blocks but will have to take boat over to West Marine to have the pigtail stopper swaged onto wire. Once the jib block pigtails are installed a 3/16 or 1/4 inch X 6ft line is attached to thimble at 1 end, line feeds through grommets in center of tramp, (use the aft grommets), and is attached to the opposite thimble using a truckers hitch.
