[Rhodes22-list] Jib lines without roller question

[Leland]

Hank,

Uh oh.  I drew 'em as I do 'em.

I slide the block to change the sail shape only when I run the sheets
outside of the shrouds.

When running the sheet across the deck between the inner and outer shrouds
it goes through the eye on the side of the cabin.  Initially I then ran it
through the cam cleat on the side of the cabin but realized it could be
easily adjusted (little friction from the angle) if ran the sheet directly
back to the block if it were positioned near the winch.  I don't think I'd
get much adjustment from sliding the block forward because the outer shroud
would get in the way.

When running the sheets across the cabin top I use the eye and cam cleat up
on top.  The inner shroud would definitely get in the way if I ran the sheet
to the block even if I slid it all the way aft.

Are you thinking about your liveaboard yacht again?
