The gist of it is you tie a light line, I will probably use 1/8" or
3/16" braided, to the halyard grommet at the head of the jib. You
run the line through the jib hanks to keep it from flailing around
and then through a pulley block attached to the jib stay chainplate
at the deck. My boat has an extra cleat on the right side of the
cabin top, so I will run the line back to there and tie it off. When
you let go the jib halyard, you pull the downhaul to bring the sail
to the deck and snub it by cleating the downhaul. With the foot of
the jib pulled tight to one side with the sheet and cleated off, the
sail is under control.
