[Public-List] Jyb track location on foredeck

[Meinhold, Michael J.]

I have used my working jib quite a bit on the Chesapeake in 18-35 knots,
mostly singlehanding.
It was built to the Chesapeake Bay A30 One-Design rules (Luff 30'   Foot
10'3   Leech 25'9",    LP 8.52',  or 82%)

The sheet runs from the clew, inside the stays, to a snatch block on the
forward track,  usually with the car in the middle, and then to the
primary block and winch.

Close hauled in a breeze when cranked in hard the sheet is 2 inches off
the forward lower.

When easing out,  the sheet contacts the forward lower. When I know I
will be doing a lot of off-the wind sailing I connect a second sheet
outside the stays to avoid chafing.

Glenn,

On US 11, my jib track is as David described.  While I don't have
precise measurements, I found a couple photos I can send to you that may
help.

I will say that I have yet to be successful sailing the 100% jib.  It is
probably operator error and that fact that I rarely use the small jib.
 However, you may wish to talk with some others about a different
placement of the track.

Good luck,

Woody
US 11
