Just received a new factory jib for my 16. I noticed a change. It came with a stay shackle at the head of the sail in lieu of the foot as my last one was where attaches to headstay. The H-16 parts IPB also shows it at the bottom. Does it even make a difference? Also noted the stay shackle is riveted instead of removable pin of which is a good move. Another thought, one wouldn't want stay shackle connection at top and bottom would you? TIA Gulf waters are warming up! |

Hi Tia, My best guess is the sail is now made that way so it is easier to adjust as it is pretty hard to get to when the jib is up. I drilled out the shackle rivet on my jib and replaced it with a shackle at the top putting the adjustment tie on the bottom so it could be adjusted if needed while the jib is up. |
