[quote=cezo823]Hi all,
Setting up the 5.2 for heavy air last week, everything tight.
My Jib halyard went block to block and I couldn't get it any tighter, jib kept flapping around when i would try to pinch. PITA
Any ideas as to what is up? Halyard too long? Jib tack was on the bottom of the chain pate. I've have this boat out 4-5 times, never heavy stuff until last week. Seems like shortening the halyard or moving the cleat and lower block down on the mast (drilling and filling holes on the mast, yuk) would be the solution but I want to make sure that I'm not overlooking something.
Oh yeah, I had a notable case of weather helm too, going to bring the mast up a hole but it seems that the jib tension may have been a factor? Assuming that jib halyard tension brings the mast forward like it did on my H16?
Thoughts?
Thanks[/quote]
