Further Suggestions

⇒To furl the jib you will need to untie the knot on the traveller car for the jib and tie the sheet off to the jib clew block. Otherwise the jib will not furl completely.

⇒As the track is mounted on the front section of the beam you may find that the hole you use on the jib clew board may now have to become one of the lower, more forward holes. Also it may be necessary to tack the jib at a lower position on the forestay adjuster.

⇒The spinnaker halyard system still works exactly the same as the standard Hobie Tiger original system

however it has moved to a more outboard position on the beam. 18
