Jib Sheet System (1 of 2)


Previous Image Index Image Next Image


The 2 to 1 purchase system on Wiley's boat allows for finer adjustments even when the wind is blowing hard. One end of the jib sheet dead-ends through a hole in the deck using a figure-eight knot. (multiple holes can be placed at different points along the track to change the sheeting angle). The sheets are then lead to small bullet-blocks(see next image) attached to the Jib clew and then back through the Jib car to a ratchet-block on the cabin top and then to a camcleat.
