But once under sail, they tend to snag the jib sheet causing a tack failure. https://eoceanic.com/images/tips/105/header.jpg Preventing jib sheets snagging on mid-ship cleats ccccccc As you make the tack, the jib will back (be blown backward). At this moment release the jib sheet, letting it out quickly but avoiding snagging the line on anything in the cockpit. https://www.liveabout.com/tack-a-sailboat-2915469 ccccccccccccccccccc sufficient pressure in the sail or the sheet snagging can cause the clew to be pulled https://www.yachtingworld.com/features/short-handed-sailing-... https://eoceanic.com/sailing/tips/29/105/preventing_jib_shee... |
