I'll double check the release line position, but I'm pretty sure it's on the loaded side of the cleat. I've never really liked this system, removed it on the N20. It does give you a few seconds of extra wire time on the way to th offset mark but I'm not convinced its worth the hassle of an extra shock chord and no visible tack line cleat. On the other hand it does tidy up the tramp which is good since this boat lacks some.

Jeff, I went into my main beam and re-rigged everything last night. Do you have line lengths for your setup? My setup has a single shock chord for the jib rigged the same way as the downhill shock chord. Both seem a little tight to me but the shock chords are new. Switching to a double shock chord for the jb would clean things up and make things feerier IMO.

Oh, I didn't have but a tiny gremlin in my beam, some clumps of something that didn't bite (yet).
