Reply to: Prindle 16 jib block wires

[quote=the-renovator]The Prindle jib has a line attached to the jib tack grommet, it acts as a downhaul, there is a camcleat just above the tack grommet, the line feeds through the turnbuckle and up through the tack grommet 2 or 3 times to give you 2 or 3:1 downhaul and is then cleated off at the camcleat, this will tension the luff (leading edge) of the jib, crank on the downhaul. The jib blocks create tension on the leech (trailing edge) of the sail, you can play with the adjustment of the jib blocks using the center grommets. The big question is, which part of the sail is fluttering, the luff or the leach?[/quote]
