Exactly Jake, it is a doubler, only used in higher wind, and when beating. It is released when reaching and downwind.


And there goes the "automatic" part !

The tornado guys need to come in to the mast in order to adjust the jib sheeting, if we believe Bill, and you must go past that to go to the far leeward side and pull on that plastic bead and hook it to the car.

I rest my case.

And please forgive me arbo, it is nothing personal to any of you and I still think such a straight track is a good option for cruisers and such. Just not because it is better but because it is so easy to implement even with a tensioned wire.
