Modified
jib down haul. If you want more control of the
jib. Instead of just a downhaul that pulls the
jib to the deck. You can run the down haul
line up to a turning ring mounted at the perependicular point from the
jib clew to the forestay. The
line goes out to a small turning block attached to the clew and back to the ring where it continues on up the forestay to the head of the
jib.
You then have options. If you want you can bunch the
jib onto the forestay by pulling in the dousing
line without releasing the halyard. If you release the halyard the dousing
line will ball up the
jib at the base of the forestay. Just make sure you leave enough
line so the dousing
line does not interfere with the operation of the
jib.
