All, My jib sheet keeps getting pinched by my mast when I tack. Matt Miller told me a solution with a bungee chord that was made standard gear on 18's, but I forgot! (sorry Matt!)  I just got six feet of new bungee to play with so what do I do again?!? Thanks All (especially Matt M.) Take care and have a Hobie day!!!

 It works nicely because you can do / undo the shock cord from the mast without untying it. Obviously, this only works if you've got the newer-style jib halyard block on the front of the mast. Otherwise, you'll need to put a fairlead or a hook there. |

Matt, Will that work on the 14 Turbo? Could I go through the Main halyard cleat then to the striker? |

Cleat might be a little high, but it's worth a shot. |
