Hi Webgang,

We just received our new working jib for our P19. Last night I was making a
pennant so we could rig it on the FF1 CDI. I was trying to figure out the
best way to attach the head and the tack (bottom) so that we could change
from the working jib to the lapper with minimal tying and untying of knots.

Our lapper is nearly the full length of the furling extrusion plus right down
to the drum, so there isn't a whole lot of room for hardware.

Has anyone figured out the best way to do this? Maybe small snap shackles at
the top and bottom? Part numbers would be helpful, since I'm going to send
my hubby to West Marine to get the hardware.

Thanks,
Judy B.
