[quote=erice][quote=RLC]What is the saddle? (My first thought was to tie off at the strap eye that the wire connects to.)
yes, that's the place
Also, I infer from your description that this is not an adjustable (on the fly) setup, is this correct?
correct, but if you put a couple jam cleats on the rear beam and just run the line through the strap eye on the way to the jam cleats it could be adjustable on the fly. some 5.2's are setup like that
however, the best position is usually dependent on the shape of the jib and that isn't going to change...

the strap eye on the front of the mast is where i have a short length of bungee with a clip on the end. once the sail is raised and halyard ball hooked on the heavy wire section will flap around unless held somehow. so i clip it to the bungee going to the strap eye. this keeps it under tension. the line section of the halyard i loop and tuck into a $1 shop mesh bag i sewed onto the tramp. the jib halyard gets tucked into the mid-tramp tube sleeve
