Matt and or Tom....

Ok guys I stepped it up and bought a SC19. Tom it was Jeffs in Ohio....you'll be hearing from me for parts (luck you). Any how there are 3 padeyes on each hull along the tramp bolt rope track. What are they all for and which is the correct one for the Jib sheet blocks?

SC15Av8or,

The eye straps along the hull are for the clew of the jib. The correct one will depend on the cut of the jib. The forward strap will put more tension on the leech of the jib while the rear one will cause the leech to open up. You will need to experiment with which one works best for your sail & mast rake combination. I would suggest starting with the rear one.
