I have posted here before with jib question but printer was not working so will have to ask aagain. Sorry' 1 I have an Oday 23 built in 1982 There are several postions to put jib block into and I don't know under what conditons the jib should be lead fore or aft. 2 I understand that the Oday is not made any more but that some company bought them out and are making them under another name. Is this true? 3 Am quite new to sailing and last summer a sailing friend and I were out and he showed me how to use pike pole to hold jib to one side while main sail was on other side going wing on wing. Really great and fun. Most of the time the end of pole on mast stayed put but not always. Does anyone have an idea on how to make something that would hold mast end of pole to mast better. I have read some of the posts and replies and am sure someone has an idea so thanks a lot for any advice Chuck

Questions
1. Jib lead - the simple answer is that in most circumstances the jib sheet should bisect the angle between the foot (bottom) of the sail and the leech (rear). This will get you close to where you want to be. Then, you move the jib block aft to flatten out the sail and depower as the wind picks up. 2. Rudy Nickerson was O'day parts manager - he bought some of the molds when O'day/Pearson went under and has the 192, 290 and Widgeon in production at the moment. You can check them out at www.odaysailboats.com. The Daysailer is in production at Cape Cod Shipbuilders. The Mariner and Rhodes 19 are in production at Stuart Marine in Rockland,Maine. 3. Need to know what the ends of your pole look like...
