[quote=Edchris177]Go for it! The cleat only holds jib tension, so if it were to let go, no biggy. I use Vectran V-12 for the PTB & 3.8mm Spyderline for the jib, you don't need line that strong, but the thicker line is easier to handle, & fits the little clam cleats perfectly, it has not come loose yet.
Get that baby out into the wind. I have been out a couple times in 50 clicks this season,(30 mph) & it held fine. I have not found the need for adjusting jib tension while under way, but if you wanted to, it seems it would be easy to rig. Just shackle a small block to the "O" ring at the top of the drum. Lead the jib halyard through the block, then across to the front beam, & mount the clam cleat there. Changing tension would be as simple as pulling a line.
Also, when you quote another post it will show up better if you highlight (select) the text you want, then click on the "quote" button at the bottom of that post. It will fill it in the "reply" box, then you just type below it.[/quote]
