It appears to me that the location of the jib fairleads on the H-216 are just fine as long as you are pointing as high as possible going to windward. As soon as you need to sail on even a close reach, the jib fairlead prevents the the jib from being trimmed properly. I've rigged a makeshift barber hauler that improves on it a little bit but I was wondering if anyone has, or has considered, installing adjustable tracks and using dual ended jib sheets? Of course, that also brings up the question - does anybody else think that it's a problem?
