[quote=Wolfman]Yes, the jib halyard is attached to a piece of dacron webbing at the top of the jib. Both my jibs are like this. You aren't putting a huge strain on the jib luff with the halyard even when you downhaul it, so it seems to hold fine.
The travellers are called barberhaulers and are mainly used downwind to open a pocket between the main and jib. They are usually rigged 2:1 with a block off of the hull behind the main beam (factory) or on the main beam itself (retrofit). [/quote]
