Do you need to switch from the coachtop jib tracks to the side deck jib tracks when going from tightly sheeted to wide out downwind or can you leave the jib on one or the other? Are there any issues in terms of fouling the jib sheet on the shrouds if you use the coachtop jib tracks and let the jib right out? Thanks in advance.

Why is nobody in on this. Of course you should switch to outboard sheeting as the breeze goes aft. I'll wager that many wont make the change and others don't know but your answer is yes. If you use a changing sheet it should be run outboard of the shrouds just like your spinnaker sheets.
