[quote=DanBerger]Unfortunately, you can't move them to the front beam without re-cutting your jib. I believe the Prindle 18 jib overlaps the mast, anyway.
IMHO, the best you could do is to move them as far inboard as you can and then install barber haulers to pull the jib sheets outboard to control the slot. You could move them back out to their normal position when the family isn't on board.
You could use snap shackles on the jib blocks so all you have to do is unhook them and move them to the new location.
That would at least open up some seating space between the front beam and the sidestays. You would still have the wire crossing the tramp, but you wouldn't have the blocks in the way.[/quote]
