Greetings!
My Dad and I just recently bought a H20. We are both very excited! I have been going over the boat and re rigging and replacing small things before we take it out. Something that has really confused me though, is the jib halyard. The boat is equipped with a roller furler conversion, just like the one from murray's:
https://www.murrays.com/product/50-48921001/If you can see it in the photo, at the end of the wire halyard is a small single block, which is used to get a 2:1 purchase on the jib luff tension. The problem is, this block will not fit into the jib luff pocket on the jib. I can make it work by routing the halyard outside the pocket, but I don't like the idea of the wire rubbing on the jib all day.
I saw a picture of the H18 setup, and I think they might disconnect the block and reconnect it after the end of the wire is out the bottom of the pocket. I cannot do this though, there is no shackle on the block, it is permanently installed on the end of the wire.
I may just convert back to the standard front stay/bridle, and run the normal setup, but it would be good to know what the solution is for the furler.
Thanks guys!
