Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28.

"My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton.

My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell.

So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!!

Subject: Jib halyard tensioner

Bryan,

See link for an above-deck jib hal fine tune option..... we use it upwind for jib hal tension adjustment but also downwind for fraculating without needing to use a winch.

There are sexier through deck options but this took all of 20 mins to put in place and it works great while minimizing holes in the boat :-)

:: 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
