[C320-list] Jib Sheets Jamming

[Stanley Rogacevicz]

  A third is to insert a small block of wood between the clevis and
chainplate on the inboard side to keep the clevis inboard and also place
a small block between the clevis and the deck to make an absolutely hump
free transition from deck to clevis on the outboard side then wrap the
whole thing with tape. The very smooth transition from deck to clevis on
the outboard side is shown in the picture on the c320 site I mentioned
the other day but the block to keep the clevis in place inboard is not
visible.

Richard,
   
  I have seen two solutions to this problem.  One is to squeeze the
clevis togeather with a channel lock and insert a shorter pin.  The
other is to insert washers to fill up the space between theclevis.

  I have from time to time a problem with my jib sheets jamming under
the
shroud turn buckles on the deck. What seems to be the obvious solution
is
to put 1" vice the 2" clevis pins. 

Has anyone made this change?
