I would love to see those photos please.
Yes, yes, yes..why do roller furling jibs flog???like people who can't find the indicater before turning.
Lip luff..piut a little tension on the jib... why do jibs flog?
would be impossible to notice any difference, if there is, even though we all do it at the front end of the fleet?? I would say that Tigermike was having a good day, and when lowering your jib there is more to consider, did you get the some rig tension, a small and I mean small change would alter the performance of the boat in any given condition.
Fair comment - To be honest the rig may be some what tighter which I hadn't really considered till now. On the other hand - maybe it was just a good day out. Ask me again tomorrow night <img src=

. However, if the only change was lowering the jib, then the jib lead angle would also have changed as a result of lowering the jib. Changing the jib lead angle could have a significant effect on pointing angle.
Once again you could be right. I did move the jib sheet up 1 hole on the normal setting though. I don't have enough knowledge to pinpoint exactly what the cause was beyond what I tried and what I observed.

Because nothing keeps the traveler from moving inward. The wind pressure can swing it back and forth too.
ah. I understand..self tacker...
pdf attached.
