29.5 winch installation and Strong Track

[Willie G]

Hello, I have a 29.5 and am going to add two Lewmar 30 CST back by the helm. I would like to know form anyone who has them already installed there how they ran there Jib Sheets back to the winches. Pictures of the lines would really help. any advice on the instalation of the winches would be greatly appreciated as well.
I am also having an issue when I raise the main. The sale is up. the halyard is VERY tight and from the third batten up, the luff is tight but the bottom portion of the luff is not real tight. I have gone up the mast and can't figure it out. There is something that it is catching on but I can't figure it out. Anybody installed the Tides strong track?
Thanks for any advice

Hi @Willie G . Sorry that I can’t help with the Lewmars or sheeting because I know little about your rigging, blocks and fair leads. I do have a question about raising the main. When you raise the sail, and the lower luff is sagging, how does the leach look...is it tight or also baggy? If tight you might want to consider slacking the mainsheet, boom vang, and down haul or Cunningham if you have any of those, and let the aft end of the boom rise higher above the cockpit. Of course if you have any pictures of the sail while raised, I’m sure we’ll find the issue...without sending you up the mast again. Welcome to forum.
