Question Snatch block placement on S2 8.0
Ok, here is a newbie question:

I was looking at an S2 8.0 brochure recently (like 10 minutes ago), and I noticed that the photos have the snatch blocks for the genoa/jib placed aft of the winch - nearly level with (abeam?) the cleat

Here's a link to a cropped photo from the brochure: http://gallery.mac.com/overholtzer/100072

I currently have the snatch blocks on my sailboat set MUCH further forward (I would guess 2-3 feet from the location shown in the photo).

Anybody have any suggestions for the proper placement? I'm usually sailing with the 140 % Genoa.

Also, should I move them forward when I use the 80% working jib?
