Jack Flash - Pentex H-18SX Jib

Jack Flash -

Thanks for the lead on talking to Charlie Ogletree @ Ullman Sails. I learned a lot.

I have not converted my 18SX to beam mounted jib traveler cars and jib blocks. I don't intend to do that much work for the upcoming season.

I'm either going to buy your used pentex 18SX jib, which I would prefer, or buy a new dacron 18SX jib with vertical battens from Charlie.

If you would, please get in touch with me at 219-241-4117 or jwirth1 at comcast dot net. Thanks.

Colin,

I lost your cell phone number. Please let me know what it is. Mine's 219-241-4117

Also, the thimble of the H-18SX jib halyard comes down and touches the block at the foot of the Pentex sail. This makes using the block pretty useless.

Did you have different measurements of your jib halyard, jib tang, forstay, or something else that would make the foot of the Pentex be so close to the jib thimble?

Thanks.

John

John, If you saying what I think a standard 18 jib halyard should fix the problem. It did for me on the Tiger Jib. Its about 12" shorter.
