[quote=shortyfox][quote]Was that how it was intended to be rigged? Just with a drum and spinny bit at the head of the sail?[/quote]
Every H-16 I've ever been on has had a fully battened hanked on jib. Furling parts are pricey but if you can get yours going without too much expense, go for it, otherwise do hanks. They will enable you to raise and lower your jib quickly and eliminate most of that bothersome flogging that wears the sail. However, the furler would enable you to roll up the sail while you're underway but who wants to sail a h-16 with just the main anyway? They wouldn't tack well and the weather helm would be too much. Have sailmaker do your clew plate. Get one with three holes so you have some adjustment because the H-16 does not have a fore and aft adjustment for the sheet leads.[/quote]
