Welcome to the crowd Mr Blow Boater,

I'm a little short of time now but I will post in later on the N5.8 Jib Luff Thread .... please read it when I do and I'll explain how to rig a jib Luff Tensioner/Downhaul and install a bowfoil as I have done both on my P19MX, Ok. It's straight forward but no sense in you re-inventing the wheel.

Yes that "rollie thingie" is for the daggerboards ... it's usually attached/tied to the shroud/sidestay w/ the rollie part on the inside of the daggerboard pulling outboard.

Where are you on the Chesapeake Bay??? Ed/Lucky Duck is at Gailsville, Mark Schieder is at Pedickery Point, I'm over at Rock Hall YC ....

And one last little thing ... if you notice we all sign our posts w/ our names ... it is a matter of honor amongst us .... ( there have been "ISSUES" in the past w/ anonymous posters saying nasty things ....), so please be so kind as to sign your name.

I have to go now and get some work done outside while there is daylight to work in.
