Making the inhauler adjustable on both ends.
Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2021 1:55 pm
Rather than terminating at the base of my mast, I am thinking of leading the lines for my inhaulers to a cleat on the mast or back in the cockpit to provide the ability to release the inhaulers when reaching. Currently, my inhaulers only have about 8-10 inches of adjustability, which is currently overcome by running another jib sheet to a black on a rail padeye to avoid the inhaulers engaging.
With this modification I am thinking this other adjustable end would have 2 feet or more of line to add 12 inches to the adjustability, and therefore a little bit wider range of wind angles underwhich I would not need to run that extra sheet and block just to avoid the inhaulers engaging.
Writing to asking if this would be class legal, or be class legal if disabled for class racing, & has anyone done so.
