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
