<p>Thank you all.I have put the mast down and remade the splices, everything is better. Steve, if you have a genoa on a bowsprit, it means that you have two forestays?</p>
<p>For my jid sheets,I finally end by tying on the rail glued with bolts on the cabin side then on the sail, back to the same rail in a block and then crossed to the opposite side of the deck to a cleat.</p>
<p>I plan to add a spi, but try to sail my boat properly first. I feel it difficult to tack...</p>

<p>About your second question....I think it depends on if your jib overlaps the mast (technically it shouldn't, 'cause then it would be called a genoa), but I think you have two options (I have both, one for my jib and one for the genoa that I added on a bowsprit). I put a piece of webbing around the mast beam about 2 or 3 feet each side of the mast, then attached my pulley to that. You can then take your sheet straight to some cleat (I use a cam cleat)... or back to the clew of the jib and…</p>

You can then take your sheet straight to some cleat (I use a cam cleat)... or back to the clew of the jib and then back to the webbing, with pulleys if you want more purchase. The Tiki I have came with a teak rail about 4 inches above the deck, on the deck side of the 'cabin', about 3 - 5 feet aft of the mast beam. Again, a pulley in one of the spots, and then back to a cleat. On either of these setups, plus with my drifter and spinnaker, I have a barber hauler that I can move around to cleat all sorts of spots. It basically pulls the clew of the sail either in or out, usually out, for a better slot between the mainsail and headsail, or if downwind, to keep the sail 'out'. Hope that all makes sense.</p> Eric, I have the same experie…tag:wharrambuilders.ning.com,2019-05-12:2195841:Comment:1673912019-05-12T12:18:36.230ZRod McLarenhttps://wharrambuilders.ning.com/profile/RodMcLaren
<p>Eric, I have the same experience on my Mana, only I have run out of space on my stays for the main mast. I will have to cut and re-splice before starting this season. I do hope that the stretching will end soon.</p>
