Re: (Fwd) Jib Downhaul

[Hal Mueller <hal@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to do basically the same thing--very small blocks attached to the
toe rail, lightweight cleat attached to a stanchion (just to have a place
to hang the line).  I'm going to see if I can get away with not running it
quite all the way forward, so that it stays clear of the chocks.  I figure
very light line is fine here (I used 3/16 double braid):  there's no shock
loading, the load is only when pulling the jib down, and it minimizes
windage/weight aloft.
