NZTiger 17 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Just wondering if there is a best practice setup for the jib car on an 8.5 multi. If anyone is keen to post a picture or diagram of the setup on their multi, I'd really appreciate it. Minor adjustments seem to make a massive difference in the headsail shape and the resulting performance of our boat, but to change it I need to spend several minutes undoing knots and then retying them - which is far from ideal. Can't seem to find a photo of mine on my phone but will have a look. Thanks, Justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freedom GBE 27 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 The number one is tied to a bridle near the back of the engine pod beam that we can adjust from side to side and up and down. The number two has a block on the main beam we don't bother adjust during a race, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think your number 1 might be larger than mine but I could use a similar setup just a bit further forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
