| Post subject: | Aussie jib halyard vs Traditional jib halyard |
Im looking to replace my Jib haylard and im wondering if i should spend the extra cash and buy the Aussie Jib Haylard. Can anyone tell me anything about the Aussie Jib Haylard...Yes/No. Will I be able to use a roller furler with it? I just bought my first hobie 16 (1985) last fall and have had a blast with it so far this summer...just got on one hull yesterday...oh yeah, what an amazing feeling. Anyways im still new to hobies and any advise would be great. Thanks |

A quick search found this: http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=1701&highlight=aussie+jib+halyard You cannot use the Aussie system with a furler. |

The Aussie system along with a cheek block on the side of the mast will allow you to tension the rig better and keep the jib halyard clear of the jib battens. |

I used the same blocks as in the link, I love being able to tighten it all up so well, makes it a much tighter run ship, if you will =) No roller furler, I tried it, but all the legnths don't work out, plus I didn't feel too good about putting all that tension on the h16 roller furler hardware (higher rated spinner/furler might be a different story, but it really seemed to just be too much trouble in the end). |
