Adjustible Genoa Leads, Track & Teflon

Rick Gleason; Re adjustable genoa lead gear.

Unless you are flying a deck sweeper with a low clew try a tweeker riding on the sheet between the clew and the fair lead to the winch. Lead the tweeker line to a cleat reachable from the cockpit. Experiment to find the optimum location on the track for the tweeker line''s turning block. The tweeker reduces the loading on the genoa track and you will be pleased with how handy it is to control the genoa leach.
Cheers, George
