I took out a 336 this week and had a real problem with the jib and its sheets. The jib was about 130% and when trying to sail close hauled, the sheets got hung up on the diagonal spreader when through the jib cars. Was I doing something wrong or is this just a problem with this boat? Markdb

The 336 was designed for a 110 jib only. I guess you found out why. It sails well as standard equipped. Downwind you should have an asymetrical spinnaker.
