Subject: Floating jib leads
Info: (14643 views) Posted: Tuesday 4-22-14 09:55:43 PM
on these systems how far aft is the block the sheet goes to after the floating lead?

i was planning on taking mine all the way to the aft pulpit like the spinnaker sheet. I'm thinking that if its to close to the lead then the floating lead will not define where the sheet is sheeted from.
