How high is your 19 pointing?

dbinvermont - what size is your jib? I think mine is a 135 and when I tried routing my jib sheet between the shrouds, the sail was rubbing on the wire unless I was really close hauled.

Mine is just the standard jib. The sheets rub the the stays just a bit, but not bad.
I think you have to set up according to your course vs. the wind direction.
If I was going to reach or run, I think I would run the sheets around the outer stays.
The day that I was talking about, I was holding a close hauled course for three hours, so it was worth rerouting the sheets.
