CD 25 Jib (new question)

[Ryan Puckett]

Everyone here is so helpful. About my previous post "CD 25 Jib trim question":
WOW! I don't have any eyelet (fairlead) on the deck for my 100% jib sheet. I only have genny cars. What should I do? Running sheets through the genny cars causes the leech and foot to flutter at almost ALL points of sail. This is disheartening. How would I determine the correct angle at which to munt such hardware? There are no holes where once existed such hardware. I am not looking forward to "winging" this one.
Thanks,

I'm surprised there is no eyebolt on the port side of the cabintop, just ahead of or astride the mast. I can't see the reason for removing the eyebolt since it is a handy attachment point for a lot of things. I'm puzzled.

Ryan,

The jib eyes on my boat are in the middle of the deck, three quarters of the way up the elongated window.

Have you tried tightening the leech line on the sail? Not too much-you don't want the leech "cupped".
