If you’re owned by a 23 then there’s a good chance you’re fairly fanatical about sail trim. I can’t speak for all Hunter 23 owners but for me, I can never get the jib tight enough in heavy air. I keep getting those little loops between the piston hanks. I’ve thought about adding a jib halyard winch (I have an extra one in the garage) but where? The jib halyard exits the mast on the same side as the main (Z_Spar Flexy). The idea of stacking 2 wenches on the starboard side of the mast doesn’t appeal to me and opening up more large holes in a mast that gets bowed as much as mine does is scary. Remember Z Spar is no more. Now, in my opinion, the factory method of attaching the jib tack is a little lame. It attaches to a short wire loop from the bow fitting, which is deep in the anchor well. The lame part is not the fact that the bow fitting is down in the anchor well. It’s great that the jib can be fitted right to the deck because everything but sail cloth is below deck level. It’s that little cheesie wire rig that bugs me (and tends to drop through the hole at the WRONG time!). What I’ve done is to add a small tackle to replace the wire. I used 2 small triple blocks, one with becket and cam cleat. The triple block with cleat is down in the anchor well and the top has a snap schackle which attaches to the jib tack. Now I raise the jib to the top of the fore stay and then pull the tack down to deck with the tackle. The jib is now tight and I can draw the tack right down into the anchor well if I want to or raise the jib 3 or 4 inches of the deck (why?). When I change jibs, I let the tackle out about a foot, which pretty much stops the rig from falling down amongst the anchor line.
