[quote=leeboweffect][quote=MN3]It is my understanding the 2:1 jib sheet set up is more about holding the (stock) jib blocks in the correct angle when in use than the mechanical advantage.
without the jib block secured at the head of the block via the becket it could pivot around and make cleating an issue
Looks to me NacDaddy uses some deck mounted cleat and not the stock cleat/block setup i see on most beach cats[/quote]
Using the stock jib setup on the 5.0 is a PITA whether setup 2:1 or 1:1. Either way the block won't standup such that you can release the jib in light to moderate air, it's only in the OK category in a blow. I even tried using standup springs (not supplied OEM) with less than satisfactory results.
Here is the stock setup that flops around.

Here is the custom setup I use rigged 2:1 but I now run it 1:1 all the time no problem. With the swivel cleat you always have the cleat constrained and oriented such that it can be easily set or released.
