I've a NACRA 5.2, 1980 version with the jib wires on top of the tramp. If I locate the wires below the tramp, what is the location of the two slots that will be put in the tramp for the jib wires? Also is the wire location from the hull the same distance as the original jib wire? or located futher outboard towards the hull? I ask that question because my wires are approx 14" from the hull but on the following site they have the wire located 7-11 iches inboard. http://www.slosailandcanvas.com/servlet/the-879/Nacra-5.2-New-%2872.5%27%27%29/Detail Thank you.

the early models had the jib block wires running more inboard

later models moved them further outboard

presumably the factory moved them further outboard as they worked better

Sounds right. I moved only one jib wire under the tramp and went for a sail. Seems there was less power on that side. Like there needed to be more seperation b/t the jib and main.
