Wow! another good example of how much I have to learn. In between all the friggin with the riggin' Im still out sailing...dont mind the wetsuit in the photo. The water up here in Vancouver on the Pacific is cold and refreshing!
Your correction on my bungie set up makes total sense and Ill change that around to work correctly. Ive actaully snagged a crab trap myself and fortunatley at that time I didnt have the bungee hooked up so the daggers popped forward to release it. Thanks for your drawing!
I thought as well that the pressure on the jib would tend to pull the blocks out,but in fact they tended to center on the cable length that the blocks run on as its some what slack. Should the cable or line, as in your photo that the Jib block run on be tight or slightly loose to allow it to flex with the tramp and pocket it runs through? Sorry for what seems to be the simple questions out there as Im the only 5.5 on the north west coast.
