[Public-list] Public-list Digest, Vol 693, Issue 1

[Cole, Andrew L]

This is the way we led it originally, but it seemed to bind the car
somewhat with the side loading to get aft to the primary.  The car is a
more modern ball bearing car with the sheave integrated into the car
with limited range of motion.

I will take a look again tomorrow night with the sheet coming directly
off the car.  

Does anyone use a turning block for the genoa sheet or am I the only
black sheep?

Andrew
