[quote=erice]the stainless line between the beams stops the jib blocks from being pulled up by a big wind in the jib
the line from the rear beam allows adjustment along that line
the 5.2 has a big overlapping jib and getting the jib down on the tramp probably is important for maximum efficency
early model 5.2's had this line completely above the tramp
later models ran it below the tramp near the beams but brought it up through reinforced slits in the tramp near the aft of the daggerboard wells[/quote]
