I can't wait to get started on my next project! I just ordered some new
Harken #450 jib lead cars. I'm using them in combination with Harken
40mm Carbo blocks with becket and cams#2646.
I'm going to attach two Carbo blocks to the clew of the jib so I can run a
continuous two purchase jib sheet.
I saw this set up on a local one design racing boat "505 open" a boat of french
design now being manufactured here in Southern Cal.
This two purchase set up eliminates the need for winches on jibs 140sq ft
or smaller.
Now all I have to do is order the longer track.
But I can still run this set up on my short OEM tracks in the mean time.
Man I love sailboat hardware !! :) the rigging possibilities are staggering.
