Have a couple of soft ball questions:

1) Jib tack rigging--can someone please describe how the clam cleat on the jib sail at the tack is used? I know it is to tension the sail but where do you attach the line? Around the chain plate? I have a continuous jib halyard with roller furler and have a cleat on the chain plate to take up the slack in the halyard. I am sure I can figure it out but thought I would ask.

2) Rudder lift--my rudders are pretty tight, one side locks down and the other not so much. It is also difficult to lift them up when heading in to the ramp. Is there a good description on how the rudders should be rigged so they lock down but are not impossible to release from the boat under sail? Familiar with Hobie rudders but am a newbie with adjusting the Nacra system. Again probably an easy answer.

Thanks for considering it!
