Question Jib sheets, In or Out??

Hello again folks.

My question is should the jib sheets be run inside the stays or out side?

On my last sail I ran the sheets on the outside, the sheath was damaged and the line seemed to hang up on every tack. With the sheet ran on the inside of the stays it seems the jib will rub on the stays causing damage to it.

The boat is a 21' Clipper Marine. (Please don't move this to the orphan boats section, I have had a post there for a week with no responses. I think thats where post go to die?)

Here is a pick of the sheet position.



Thanks for the help.

Cope
