Posts: 1,911 South Florida & the Keys | Can someone post a close up or recommend a website that depicts the specifics of the Tornado transverse sheeting arrangement?
Thanx,
Eric

Posts: 146 Crofton, MD | Hey Carl, I'm thinking about doing the same thing. If you could send me a picture as well, that would be great. I sliced my foot open the other day on the wire block and have decided that's it on my boat. I'm thinking of just taking it to a sailmaker and having nylon strapping sewn to the tramp for reinforcement and then just lacing the tramp through the jib wire holes in the hulls. By the way, what kind of mast rotation setup are you using?? Todd Berget todd.berget@verizon.net | | | Re: Tornado Jib sheeting points

Posts: 40 NZ | We had the same setup on our two Marstrom boats - now running a self tacker - I have the measurements somewhere (based on Mitch Booth and Bundock/Forbes boats) will dig them out.
You need to be very careful with the eyelets and reinforcing as there is a heap of tension on the eyelets. If you are running a boltrope track on the side of tramp (e.g. Reg White boat), then you have to spread the load so it doesn't rip the boltrope out.
