Take your jib down haul that you already have running through the swivel
block at the base of the forstay. Run it out side of the rear bow pulpit on
the port side, thread it through the port side stay along the port side of
the cabin. I installed a small jam cleat on the cabin side just in front of
the port jib cam cleat to hold it tight when the jib is down. If you snug
up your jib sheets when the sail is down it will stay in place on the bow
when not in use. Works like a charm. :-)
