I have experienced jamming at the turning blocks aft of the winches during a tack on the released side. Typically the jib sheet developes a kink from the wraps coming off the leeward winch. My sailmaker recommended going direct to the jib cars and using schockcord 8 inches in front of the winches to hold the jib sheet down and prevent overrides. Anybody tryed this ??
