Message body

[quote=mctg8]DamonLinkous, Jlooby and Jackb, 
Many thanks for your answers and efforts to solve my question. Hopefully picture will be seen this time. 
I've just created an album where i'll post updates of this ongoing project. She's an old lady and after years of keel boating i'll hopefully experience something completely different sailing with the HC17... 8-)

To your comments: 
YES, i'll concentrate on sailing only with main sail the rest of the season before boating is over in south Sweden. 
But at the same time i can see my self going down that route of attaching more and more stuff on the boat and tune her to fit my conditions. Funny thing, I've seen your movies and found a lot of inspiration Jlooby...
In Sweden HC17 is a small class and class legal isn't important to me.

To the question: 
I don't have any blocks or cleats attached either to the front beam or to the hulls. So how do i sheet the jib?
What i have is an endless rope going from a small cleat in the corner hull - rear beam, under the trampoline, back to another small cleat in the other corner hull - rear beam and then up on the trampoline. What to do with it...??
