jib sheets

Post by Patrick Turner »

This may seem rudimentary but.........I seem to remember reading awhile back some discussion about just where the jib sheets run - either inside the shrouds, or outside. I have a CD22 and just aft of the shrouds is a padeye mounted on the deck......is this where my working jib sheet runs- inside the rigging then on to the winch? And then does the Genoa sheets run outside the rigging to the jib fairlead? I have tried it this way and it seems fine. Any comments would be appreciated.

Pat,

You are correct. The setup sounds exactly the same as that on my TY SR.
