The answer is simple. Remove the jib tracks from the tramp track. Off. Gone. Forever!
Move the jib blocks on to the trampoline. It eliminates all the cuts and bruises and both you and your crew will LOVE IT!
Use Ronstan jib blocks, they have plastic cleats, plastic saddles, plastic beckets. Nothing to scratch you.
When you move the jib blocks to the trampoline you solve many issues.
1) no more smashed ankles
2) no more bruised bums or bruised glutes
3) no more corrosion between the stainless steel jib track and the alloy tramp track
4) less load on the gunwales
5) better jib sheet angle = easier to steer to
6) easier for crew to uncleat during tacks
7) less jib sheet length
looks better, more modern
9) you might even be able to point higher
10) you will have a much happier crew
11) it is cheaper if ever a new boat is ever built again (dreams are free!)
12) who doesn’t want a safer, smoother, faster, sexier, cheaper boat
Check out my boats Facebook page in the link below. There is a whole photo album dedicated to this jib block movement.
I’m happy to share any measurements you want. Just ask. The wind is free and so is my advice.
