So our '08 h36 is somewhat of a dog on a broad reach with the stock sails. A whisker pole or asym would help greatly. Last week when we turned for home, well upwind and facing a series of broad reaches to get there, I reran the jib sheets straight back to the turning block that is a few feet in front of the jib winch, bypassing the fairlead. The sheet ran outside of the lifelines to the turning block. This helped move the clew further out and helped keep the jib filled and out of the main's shadow. The sheeting angle from the clew to turning block isn't perfect, but wasn't too ugly either and gave the jib a reasonable shape, although it pulled more on the foot. But with the wind in the 4-7 kt range it looked okay. Seemed to help performance by several tenths of a knot. But I would not do this in heavier air due to the imperfect sheeting angle and no telling what would happen with the jib loaded up. There is no toe rail for a snatch block or Barbour outhauler. Dan
