I've got an early 80's Hobiecat 16 that was recently given to me. I've got two questions. The jib sheets are fed through their own blocks that attach to a bell (forget the name, but the thing with the screw that fastens things together, such as a halyard to the sail). It seems to be only one long sheet feeds through both jib cleats and through these blocks. Is there a diagram to show the proper rigging? On other boats, there are two sheets tied at the clew of the jib, one for each jib cleat, and no jib blocks. Couldn't I just remove the blocks and tie the two sheets? Or is there an advantage to the block rigging?



Also, I noticed that there is a stationary swivel cleat for the main, in the center rear of the tramp. And of course there is the traveler. The traveler car is present but I think there should a swivel cleat attached. I didn't even notice this until after I had been sailing for an hour using the fixed cleat.



Please enlighten me!

Thanks
