has anyone pictures of the modifications needed at the forestay and the attachment point of the jib when adding a selftacking jib system to a standard taipan 4.9?


This part of the conversion is very easy. I will try to dig up some photo;s for you later in the week. But rest assured this is not a problem not even for you in China. My setup costed me 10 bucks and used an alu tube from the local hardware story, an eyestrap, 2 pop rivets and some high tension dyneema line

do you think it would be possible to build a very simple [and probably less ideal] jib traveller in form the Laser is having a traveller, so basically just ropes and blocks?



I will think some about this. I believe better option are available then that.
