Fellow Potter Lovers,

Has anyone riggged a barberhaul for the jib sheets on the P-19? I have read
about them, and searched the net for a picture of how to rig one, but couldn't
find a diagram or picture.

>From what I have read, but not seen, the barber haul is used to pull the jib
sheets outboard in heavy air. You attach the barberhaul line to the jib sheet
by running the jib sheet through a block attached to the barberhaul line.
Then you run the bitter end of the barber haul thru an outboard block and back
to the cockpit.

Anybody ever done this or have an idea where I can find a picture of a
barberhaul rig?
