Jib Cleat Position
Would anyone know if the jib sheet cleats have ever been installed on the centerboard trunk cap? It seems like a convenient location for single-handing and for crew access.
While there is no center thwart, as on a Thistle, to take up the additional lateral force sheeting will create, it seems that the trunk is sufficiently sized for this added load (probably in the order of 50-60#).
Any thoughts?
Comments
I have used jib cleating in the CB trunk for the past 30 years.
Thanks for getting back to me.
The cleat position on the track is never changed.
I have seen a few who have used a Harken 241 Bullseye w/swivel B
Thanks for the additional information.
