[quote=rodgers]Hello,
Back when Tornado came out, i sailed them. Same with the supercat 20.
The Panther Craft T had the jib strop running fore and aft with a rubber tube around it, making them into hiking straps as well. The jib could be pulled outboard by the barber hauler.
As you mentioned, the Super Cat had the jib blocks mounted to the hulls with a simple system that pulled the jib inboard from the boom. As you ease the main the jib moves outboard.
Later on the Tornado i raceed on had a bare wire running across the tramp across wise(i think under the tramp) with loops that the jib blocks attached to above the tramp. We could move the jib block on the lazy sheet side easily using a snap hook attachment. We also used the barber hauler off the wind. No spi in those days.
hope this helps.[/quote]
