Giu ,Thanks for the complement on my avatar. It makes me smile to think of someone like you (Sailnet guru, master cruiser, and bad a$$ boat owner) with little money and "just starting out". You truly are an inspiration to a novice sailor, in a little old boat, on a lake.
Jib track?
This is looking down the rail. The chain plate is kinda hidden by the glare off the truck windshield. When I look at it from this angle it seems the line might run from the jib track around the stay and then to the sail. (causing excess friction)
How dangerous would it be to step the mast and hoist the jib while on the trailer? If I don't belay the jib sheet it should be fine right?
what about using a "pennant" to raise the jib over the bow rail? How can I combat the pennant moving the jib to far back towards the mast?
Pennant pick
As always thanks for everyones time and advice.
