Just wondering how many use just one sheet in a loop or two separate sheets.? Is there a right or wrong way?

Thanks
Dave

It is a single line from becket on one side , trough the jib block, back through the cam, over to the other side, through the cam, then the jib block, then to the other becket. I think the Hobie parts catalog has a diagram and may also be available online. The set-up is similar to the H16 / H17 but to the side tracks instead of the front beam.

Seperate sheets seem to always get tangled up with something important or wind up in the drink dragging along side the boat. One sheet is best! Especially for roller furling. If you use roller furling be sure to have enough slack in the sheet so it will extend out to the forestay when the jib is rolled up.
