About 6-7 inches higher up the forestay. Previously, the tack was more or less right at the bridles. It had tension, but not enough, and it sagged a little. Shorter bridles from the mfr resulted in some ability to adjust, but the tack was right at the grommet, and still was not very adjustable. I moved the head up with a modification. Now it has all the tension I need.

Entry must have have been changed as a result of the jib slot determined as a function of the angle of the forestay and ever closer to the mast and farther back as the jib goes up the forestay. My question is what determines the ideal geometry of this slot, and how do you determine this setting? Tell tales? Closness to the spreaders? Dunno.
Thanks,
