Hey Guys!

Long time no chat.  I've been out SAILING!  Woo hoo!

I run the jib sheets outside the shrouds, which allows me wing out the jib when running downwind, like the big boats (I'm a copy cat with a need for speed!).

(Don't I sound like I actually know what I'm doing!?!  Look out!)

Definitely OUTSIDE the shrouds... you can "cheat it in" a little with this simple device:

You don't want to stall it though... watch your telltales.


I love the fact that I am always learning new stuff about sailing...
