Hi All

I own one of these:

However, when rigg up, the pulleys angle the rope in a way that cuts it. I've tried different brands of rope. My current one is said to be the most strongest and I have to replace my rope every few sessions. I don't want to change the way I rig my sails (maxed downhaul, extension length kept to minimum).

I need a extension that has a protruded head, so that the extension pulleys line up with the sail pulleys when down hauled. Something like this:



Can anybody recommend a product that will solve the above problem ?

Cheers

show us a pic of how you thread the rope into your sail pulleys and are the pulleys north south or east west sewn onto the sail.

Do the tack strap up tighter.

I'm with Bertie - show us a pic of how you thread your downhaul...

No it doesn't happen. The sails in the way.

Hi guys

Certainly. I will take a piccy. Watch this space.

To address the original question, all mast extensions have a simialr design to mine ? (ie: short protruded pulleys)

Note: Before my post, I had a search on google, but couldn't find much info (unless I am wording the searches incorrectly)

Ahh, ok. I think you have answered my question.

my base is 90 degrees to my sail pulles and i dont got a problem .. only when i fully downhaul so that the sail pulles touch the plastic does the last end of the rope rub .. i got it from the maui sailes rigging up book .. shoes how to thread it step by step ..

This may be of help for threading ropes correctly:


I have what appears to be the same Aeron extension and will check to see how I thread the ropes.
