Jack,
I got the picture you e-mailed me. Looks nice. The previous post made me wonder about the length of the battens. I take it you didn't cut them down at all? To lengthen the battens would mean enlarging the pocket. I prefer your approach, just moving the existing pocket to the other angle. All of this because the less elements I need to change, the better chance I have of being able to do it! I'm going to pull out the old jib this coming weekend and look it over.
