ok, there are 'no stupid questions', right?? good... now that we have that cleared away...
i'm teaching myself to sail this lovely '78 E25.. have been out a couple of times with just main sail, 8 - 10 knot winds- that's working great! (tho would work even better if i had a main halyard winch anywhere near the mast!) so i run up the working jib over the weekend... and realize that i haven't the slightest clue as to where to run the sheets to, starboard or port! and, in fact, there are no sheets in the bag! quickly 'bagged' the attempt and decided to await further info~
sooo, the question is, other E25 owners (et al): what is a standard arrangement, tackle-wise, for where to optimally run jib sheets? do people
run these lines back to the cockpit winches? or just tie off somewhere amidships?? or...???
thnx all-
