BIGGER JIB

Looking for a bigger jib for my Getaway[/b]

I had also asked this question right after I got my new getaway in o6. The problem is that there is no place for a traveller system or pulley farther back. One person said to put a wire under the tramp anchored to the hulls and have the pulley fastened through the hole in the tramp just like the turbo 14 has. After looking at this I think I might work but you may not be able to sheet the jib in very far for close hauled sailing.

Roy thanks for your reply.

Look at Steve's sailings mods and repairs, he put a traveler system on a Getaway.

Yes he did but only with the stock jib, the topic was if it was possible to put a larger jib on the getaway. I do like the idea of putting the 16 jib tracks and cars on my getaway to control the slot better. If I was on a bigger lake i would definitely put a chute on my getaway.
