jib

Greetings Fellow Salts! My roller furling line was misrouted, causing it to rub on the sheeve's housing and ruining the line. This is a below deck set up. I detached the sail, then detached the roller. Pulled her out. Found 3 screws holding the bottom to the top, after 12 hours of cursing and...

I am new to sailing and have only been sailing my (new to me) o'Day 23 for about a month (which with a full time job equates to about 4 times actually on the boat). I am still in the process of figuring out the running rigging for various parts of the boat. This past weekend, I used the...

I have this problem every year. I always figure it out and then forget- why is the job getting stuck? This is the highest I’ve gotten it up and something is clearly wrong.

Hello everyone! I have an O'Day Javelin 14 (SailboatData.com - JAVELIN 14 (FOX) Sailboat) that I acquired for free. I have actually sailed it multiple times now, and it's been great! Last time I went sailing, the wind was gusting up to 35 knots and managed to shred my jib sail pretty bad...

I need to replace the genoa, but I´m having different measures of the actual sail, from the manual. Any help with that ? Should it be 100%, 110%, 150% ?

Recently my jib fuller has been acting up, making it extremely difficult to furl the jib - like it is binding. I’ve found the only way it will furl effectively is to release the clutch on the jib halyard, allowing the jib to lower a couple inches - I can then typically furl it in. After a...

Hi everyone, I don't mean to bother you all, but I need some information. I just bought a Hunter 18.5 that had been sitting for over a year. I know very little about sailing, but I will learn. I might not know all of the parts yet, but the furling jib ? Main halyard ? Mast securing line is a...

Hi there! I recently bought a 1984 Catalina 30 and found an old jib that I can't use any more now that I have a furling headstay. How much should I sell it for? $500? $300? $200? Nothing? Thanks!

Hello! I have a 1984 catalina 30 with a short jibsheet track mounted on the deck just next to the windows. The correct placement for my 100 jib unfortunately causes the sheet to rub the cockpit coaming and dodger pole on it's way to the winch. Mounting on the outside tow rail obviously solves...
