Title: Jib Downhaul
Post by: dubois on July 22, 2005, 09:39:13 PM
I need some help finding the drawing of a downhaul to help douse the jib from the cockpit. I have seen it a few times before but I can not find it now. I know that Bosun supply made the sketch. HELP!

All you need is a couple of bullet blocks and some line to DYI , I've rigged dozens of them . You can get fancier if you want and I'll tell you how if you want and it will still be cheaper than a kit .
Title: Sail Control Drawings

Check the sail control drawing in the free Harken catalog.  The drawings are in the front section.  

Checking Harken's catalog, I found that it does not show a jib dousing arrangement.  It does have a genoa cunningham setup!   :eek:

Schaefer’s catalog, I believe, has similar drawings and may have one for jib dousing.  

Better yet, take up Mike's offer . . .  :)
