[Rhodes22-list] second jib tracks

[Paul Grandholm]

Rik,

     They're for whatever you want them for.  Primarily for use when 
trying to point higher into the wind with your jib.  My boat (1999) 
actually has three sets.  The normal ones I use outside the stays.  The 
next set are on the side of the cabin, inside the uppers but still 
outside the lowers and I have to reef down to about 125%, I would guess.  
Then I also have the ones on the cabin top.
