Hi Matt,

That just seems too easy :) Great idea. Wondering if you have any other pics of the boat or good improvements such as this.

:: There are sexier through deck options but this took all

:: :: Hi all,
:: ::
:: :: I'm going to install a jib halyard tensioner and I don't

:: :: 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
