Placement of Jib Blocks on an E-25?

[Craig]

A question for all you E-25 owners out there, where do you place the Jib blocks on the toerail for a 140 Jib? Currently the only way to adjust the block (fore and aft) un-snap the block and move it, thus you can't move thewindward block under sail. It is hard to trim the sail with a fixed block. Has anyone installed a adjustable system directly to the toerail ? Or have you placed a track next to it? All ideas are welcomed!

Clooge something up?

I've been considering a clooge, myself, though I do not have such a large genoa.Suggestion: fake it.Put the jib sheet back as far as possible.Then put together a smaller set of blocks that the sheet can run through that gets hooked to the jib track so that you can pull the sheet "downward", changing the angle "on the fly".Yes, that's a lazy solution.Admittedly, I'd almost prefer a small enough jib just so that I can make it self-tending, but that's just out-and-out laziness.And, no, I'm not tempted to race."Bending wind is more fun than breaking it"
