[quote=erice][quote=golfdad75]I just got a used Nacra 5.2 My jib just has a nylon strap that I assume the halyard connects to. I cannot imagine that would hold up under constant strain.
pretty sure that's all mine has too
remember the jib is zipped to the forestay and so the load is spread along the complete length and not isolated at the jib hanks
the tack of the jib has all the loads concentrated at 1 point and that has a metal eyelet in reinforced sail material
the traveller is a separate line and can be rigged as 2:1 or 3:1 depending on if you tie off on the block at the beam center or run through it and back to the traveller car
