[Public-List] Jyb track location on foredeck

[Bill Woodford]

Excellent ideas.

When I tried sheeting the 100% to the rail, I had so much flapping of the
leach that it drove me nuts.  (Granted, I had flapping of the leach when
sheeted inboard as well, but much less)  How does one correct the incessant
flapping?
