Rex how did you do this move? On the Infusion there isn't an easy way to move the jib up. The halyard S hook, hooks onto a ring which is connected via eyelet and then swaged to the forestay. Maybe if you bypass the factory ring?
Can you post pics of your jib setup?
In the stock setup the tack will be 4-5 inches from the bottom of the front chainplate (where the plate sticks out)
Yes, I bypassed the lower ring assembly. (Actually, it was carefully removed with a hacksaw and prying.) Pics later when I get a chance to ip it over.
In short, I bought a furling jib option on the boat with two pigtails. So I simply scuttled the lower pig, and bought a rectangular shackle and used it, insted of the ring, through the upper eye, to 'hook up' the jib. The halyard went to a block I installed at the hounds' eye of the forestay. A little electrical tape here and there to prevent the spin fouling in the shackle and it works fine. Its a little high at the moment, but I will add a length of line at the head of the jib and attach that line to the hook for the appropriate height adj. The lower pigtail was either too long or too low to gain any purchase on the tack. Went up and hooked first try! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
