MY 14 HOBIE JIB IS NOT RIGGED CORRECTLY, THE JIB. AT THE MAST IS FINE, AND ATTACHED AT THE FRONT STAYS(IF THAT IS THE CORRECT MEANING ) (PLEASE CORRECT IF I M WRONG) BUT WHERE THE SAIL NEEDS TO BE ROPED TO THE TRAMPOLINE IS WERE I M STUCK I HAVE 2 PULLEYS ON THE SAIL AND 2 PULLEYS ON EACH SIDE OF THE TRAMPOLINE BUT HOW DOES THE LINE FEED THROUGH AND STARTS FROM. SO IF ANY OF YOU GOOD PEOPLE HAVE A DESCRIPTION OR A DRAWING I WOULD BE THANKFUL.

if i remember correctly without looking at my boat: tie one end of the sheet (rope) to the becket (top) of the block (pulley) on the left side of the trampoline,, run the other end of the sheet around the left block on the jib back to the left block on the tramp, across to the right trampoline block, up to the right jib block and back to the becket on the right tramp block. use bowline knots. hope this helps!

thanks very much.i have made a drawing and i will put it to practice.now i have a better understanding.

so this means i have control of the jib only from one side (right side) [color:"blue"] [/color]

And then when you go to the other side of the boat you only have control of the jib from one side (left side).

Okay, seriously. We need to see your drawing. I don't know how to explain it any better than dannyb9 did. You know it is just one long, continuous line that serves both sides, right?

ok thanks mary i will try and send drawing in or photo
i think i got it i wont try and confuse the issue further until we see drawing.

The drawing is for a 17, but its the same exact thing.

Pauly,

The 14 jib is very similar to the 17 as shown in a previous post. However, the jib blocks do not mount to the front beam like on the 17. You should have 2 large grommets on the trampoline about a foot back from the front beam and a foot in from the side rails. There should also be a wire running under the tramp (under the 2 grommets) that is attached to the side rails at the chain plates. That wire is the Jib block support wire and you attach your blocks to the wire through the trampoline. If you have the proper blocks, there should be a becket at the top of them. You tie one end of the jib sheet to a the becket, then run it up to a jib clew block (small ones that are at the attachment of the jib) and then back through the jib block so that it comes out through the cam cleat. Then, you run the line through the other block in the direction of the cleat first, then out the back. The line then runs to the other jib clew block and then back to the becket on the top of the jib block. This way, you get one 'continuous' jib sheet. The picture of the 17 set up is close, except that the line on a 17 is attached to an eyelet on the beam and to a becket on the top of the blocks on a 14.

Hope this helps.
