Thanks Dazz I'd appreciate if you would measure it for me, mine is the only 5.8 I've seen except for pictures so I've got no idea. That foot in your post is nice and tight even in light wind and appears to be inside the hull. Does it have a wire across the tramp to bring the jib leads in? I'll work on the jib settings this weekend as the weather report seems to be more of the same.
