Jib Downhaul

[dubois]

I need some help finding the drawing of a downhaul to help douse the jib from the cockpit. I have seen it a few times before but I can not find it now. I know that Bosun supply made the sketch. HELP!

All you need is a couple of bullet blocks and some line to DYI , I've rigged dozens of them . You can get fancier if you want and I'll tell you how if you want and it will still be cheaper than a kit .

Check the sail control drawing in the free Harken catalog. The drawings are in the front section.

Checking Harken's catalog, I found that it does not show a jib dousing arrangement. It does have a genoa cunningham setup! :eek:

Schaefer’s catalog, I believe, has similar drawings and may have one for jib dousing.

Better yet, take up Mike's offer . . . :)
