[quote=windadict][quote=azcat]... Start with rotation and barberhaulers, or jib block adjustable tracks.
... I dont have all of the bugs worked out yet, but I do know that in very low winds, mast over rotation is HUGE. Upwind and down wind![/quote]
Since the jib clew is far behind front cross beam, I don't think that track would work. Nacra 5.2 uses tracks that are run along the hulls but they only allow minimal jib adjustments that are insignificant in downwind sailing. Barberhaulers may work better but I need to look at the jib/hulls geometry to see if it is worth doing it.
Over-rotation -yes, I have noticed that and was planning on starting new thread on that issue. In low or high winds the mast is paraller to the cross beam affecting wind flow over the main sail. I added extra tension on stays but that didn't fix it. I guess my next step is what edchris did and use his setup to limit the rotation. Any other suggestions?

This photo was the original setup & does not have the lines rigged properly. It should be a continuous line, dead ended at one of the eyestraps, through the end of the rotator wishbone- back through fairlead- through cleat- across tramp to other side-through cleat-fairlead-out to wishbone end-back to eye strap & dead end.

Edchris, Do you have pictures of your new setup?
Let me know if you guys have some extra parts for this setup, I need them.[/quote]
