Interesting... the original N6.0 was designed to be a spinnaker rigged cat for the worrell with a self tacking smaller jib and bridles instead of a foil... the market rejected it and the NA retrofit converted these all to foils, big jibs and that nasty jib sheeting system. So here we are back to the future...
<br>
<br>The 6.0 self tacking was a single oxen block mounted in the center of the tramp just behind the mast. That was a great boat to sail compared to the current system especially for the crew.
<br>
<br>Can someone point to a picture of the N-F18 jib system? I would be interested in this change.<br><br>Mike Teets
