Jib sheet (self tacking system)
Take the white
spectra rope
and to one end
tie on to the top
of the middle
size block.
Now take the yellow thicker sheet rope and starting from one
swivel cam cleat on the front crossbar pass the rope under the
thinner white spectra rope through the middle size pulley (2)
and back to the other side swivel-
ling cam cleat (also on the front
crossbar).
Once the jib is hoisted, attach the
carbo block (5) with shackle to the
jib clew and use the yellow sheet
rope to trim.
Firstly, attach the smallest pulley supplied in the kit to
the spinnaker pole centre pad eye (also where the
centre supports attach for the spinnaker pole). Attach
this pulley with one of the shackles supplied.

Lead the other
end of this rope
through the smal-
ler pulley that was
shackled to the
spinnaker pole in
step 1.

then back to the
carbo pulley atta-
ched to the travel-
ler car on the self-
tacking track.

This spectra then passes
through the other carbo
block (also supplied in kit
which attaches with shackle to the
jib clew) and then ties off to the
carbo block mounted on the travel-
ler car. Tie a bowline knot through
the hole in the middle of the pulley.

Further Suggestions
⇒ To furl the jib you will need to untie the knot on the traveller car for the jib and tie the sheet off to the jib
clew block. Otherwise the jib will not furl completely.
⇒ As the track is mounted on the front section of the beam you may find that the hole you use on the jib clew
board may now have to become one of the lower, more forward holes. Also it may be necessary to tack
the jib at a lower position on the forestay adjuster.
⇒ The spinnaker halyard system still works exactly the same as the standard Hobie Tiger original system
however it has moved to a more outboard position on the beam.
