Maybe you've see this. If not, get some bungee cord, (doesn't have to be brand new,) and tie one end off near the outside of the the dolphin striker rod, that is, towards the inside lip of a hull. Position is not critical. Keep it simple.
Then run the bungee up through where the lower diamond wire attaches to the mast, around the mast, back through the other diamond attachment, and back to the other side of the dolphin striker rod.
The jib sheets now rest on top of the bungees, so that when you tack, the sheet cannot get caught underneath the mast, or in the mast bearing.
Then take the thinnest bungee you can find (1/8th), tie it to the loop below the cleat on one of the jib blocks, run the bungee through the grommet hole on the tramp, underneath the tramp to the other grommet hole, and back up to the other jib block. This helps keep the jib blocks from flopping around, and lowers the risk of tangling up the jib sheets.
You're not talking about the jib furler are you?
Good winds
