What does everyone do with their jib?
In heavy air we 2-block the jib and lower the car. Full hike we're probably 4 - 6 " from full drop but as it gets into serious depower mode we drop the car all the way and foot. That seems to work pretty well for us because the jib is really flat and the slot is open. AS it gets light we bring the car up but I've never had it much farther than half way to the mast.
In chop and moderate to light air we've taken the sheet to the top hole on the jib board, pulled the car up and eased the jib a bit. Seems to help put a little punch in the sail?
Does any of this sound familiar to you guys who've been racing in fleets?
