[quote=shortyfox][q[quote]uote]I think you would lose 1/2 the size on your jib. I thought about that with Franken to keep the tramp simple, but I have gotten to where I like the jib power and can handle it easily.[/quote]

I found a pretty good line drawing of a 21 on line and the jib foot looks pretty high up. If you put your jib blocks on the main beam (like a N570) it appears to me you would actually have to add material to the foot of that jib to get the jib sheets to pull towards the center of effort. Imagine drawing a line from the tack angling down towards the front beam. Your clew would be much lower, close to the jib block when sheeted in tight. I know you're committed to doing it another way but I'm just curious. Someone let me know if I'm wrong and why.[/quote]
