Post subject: | Jib tension question |
Hey all! I searched but couldn't quite find an answer. I was sailing on Friday and when winds hit my jib it starts roaring. In between the battens flutters. I'm wondering if I need to tighten my jib. Is the forestry line supposed to be tight or somewhat loose? Does the jib "replace" the forestry line. Thanks for the input, -Matthew |

Yes, the Jib halyard should be tight and the forestay should be loose. The wire in the Jib is actually what holds the mast forward once it's fully rigged. |
