jib down haul

i assume you want a jib down haul for bringing the sail to the deck and not luff tension. i attach a light line with a loop at the next to the top hank, and lead trough a small block attatched to the shackle of the jib tack, lead the line aft and cleat off there. uncleat and let run to raise. pull down to douse. good luck.
