Subject: Jib halyard tensioner
Info: (18619 views) Posted: Wednesday 3-19-14 03:16:05 PM
Hi all,

I'm going to install a jib halyard tensioner and I don't have another e-27 around with one installed to pattern after.

I'm going to do a system that is different from the under deck ones and I need to know how much the halyard needs to move to get to max tension.

I know it will depend on how much you bring in the halyard in the first place. Assume a typically hurried raise prior to a leeward mark rounding with no winch involved & no backstay on.

4 inches? less? more?

Thanks

Bryan
