[C320-list] Schaefer 2100 jib furling cnfig

[Richard A. Walker]

I added about a 4" pendant to raise the sail a bit.  There was ample
clearance at the top of the furling gear.  It really helps to see when close
hulled in San Diego Bay.  I probably lost a micro amount of power but the
visibility was well worth it.

Cheers,

My jib has always folded over the lifelines. I have noticed other
sailboats with the same Schaefer 2100 system where there appear to be
extensions on the shackle to the jib tack which raise the jib on the
track about six inches. I'm guessing this allows the jib to clear the
lifelines. I bought my boat new and was set up with a small shackle.
What is the correct setup for this jib on the Schaefer 2100?
Any all replies greatly appreciated!

Thank you
