Jib sheets - Compac 19

[ngwhitman]

I have installed roller furling on my 19 using the 155 genoa as the head sail. This has sparked several questions.

1. Should the sheets be lead outside of the shrouds or between?
2. Should I lead the sheets through the fairlead or straight to the block on the traveler?
3. Compac lists 44 ft as the proper sheet length. Is that total length or per side?

Thanks in advance for your help.

1. Lead the sheets outside the shrouds.
2. Lead the sheets straight to the blocks on the genoa tracks.
3. 44' total length. The sheet is a single line of course, folded in half and attached to the sail at the center.

I found the 155 to be great for low wind lake sailing, but way too overpowered for windier coastal sailing. Ordered a 110 from National Sail and was much happier most of the time. I sail in eastern NC. Your results may vary!
