Hey all. Any suggestions out there for protecting the tack corner of the jib when it's rigged to the 10 hole stay adjuster? Currently have a piece of leather sewn around that corner to protect where the sail grommet is attached to the thimble. The leather wears out quickly as it rubs against the stay adjuster, especially after some great sailing. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! Thx.

The simplist solution would be to go to any sailmaker and get some sticky back dacron, stick it on, when it rubs through replace it. It's the same material as your jib but prevent the actual material on your jib from wearing through.
You could even put a few layers on if you were that worried about it.
