subject:Re: Jib trimming
"I am 6'4" and can not reach the jib sheets and hold onto the rudder bar at the same time. How do you all do it?"Do you have a tiller extension, Frank? I use bungee cords. Other's can;t stand the way I do it 'cause they lose the "feel" of the rudder, but it allows me to switch sides of the boat and trim in the jib without the rudder slamming all the way over (very slow). The bungees also come in handy when going down wind and setting the whisker pole
