You can only determine proper placement by looking at the specific sail, both the size of the sail and the height of its clew will affect the proper position of the block. Definately need to move a position for a 140 forward for a 80%

Read this tread http://www.sailnet.com/forums/showth...light=jib+lead and naturally my post on the subject in particular.
