I encounter the same problem with my jib. In light wind my crew has to stand up and pull the jib on the new tack.

Someone posted an idea with the "little black plastic halyard clips that rivet to the mast and hold the halyard lines in place" ... I tried to find them but I had no luck so far. Could someone point me in the right direction?

It also camt to my mind to shorten the battons a bit (about an inch or 1.5 inches) just enough to be able to still tension the battons well. What is the word on this idea.

Any other ideas???

Thanks,

Patrick
