It seems that I only get two trims on my jib, close hauled and very close hauled. When reaching, if the jib is out more than a couple of inches, it luffs at the top. |

If the jib has the five hole adjuster plate... move the sheeting blocks higher up the plate to sheet the leach tighter. If there is just a single grommet, you can install a five hole plate to get better jib tuning capability. |

Matt, Do any of the getaways have a plate on the jib? I have just bought a new getaway and unfortunately it came with the one grommet. Are there any plans to have a plate as standard? Seems like a great idea as even when the jib is new, without a track on the cross beam it seems to lose shape off the wind. |
