A few years ago the Lillia's started coming with a jib sheet fine tune which allows the crew to easily adjust the jib sheet in and out  even when it's blowing.  Now Folli is giving you this option also as the adjustment is becoming popular with crews. 

Shown below are pictures from 8244 that can with the jib sheet fine tune already installed by Folli.   Using 8244 as a guide we were able to install this system on 8111 and 8077.

With this system you can use either a single or double sheet.

Here are the parts needed for the installtion:

2  Harken Micro Carbo Cleats H423

2 Harken Flairlead H424

2 Harken Micro Double H226

2 Harken Micrco single with Beckett H225

4 Harken Micro cheek blocks H233

2 Folli thru Deck Blocks

2 Harken 29mm Carbo Ti-Lites H351

1/8" spectra  (we used Amsteel 12 strand)

5mm low stretch covered line (we use either Movstar Superneema or Ultraneema)

Optional:  Harken 16mm Thru Deck (we used this on one installation but not the other)

The thing to remember as you are reviewing these pictures is that this system might not fit exactly as described with your boat but you can use this as a guide when designing a system specific to your boat.

We start at the cleat for the fine tune on the starboard side of the boat.  We will follow the red and white line.
In this picture we are on the starboard side of the boat just to the left of the front console.  The red and white line is going into the deck.
This is looking at the starboard side of the boat under the deck.  as you can see the red/white line goes thru the deck and heads immediately thru a turning block and heads toward the front of the boat. 
The red/white line goes forward to the double micro block which connects to the single with becket.  The spectra line attaches to this.
The spectra line runs bakc to the block marked and turns towards the opposite side of the boat.
The spectra line crosses to the other side.  Notice the crossing of the two spectra lines. and goes thru the Folli Thru deck block on that side.
After crossing over the spectra then goes thru the double thru deck block.
This picture shows the spectra coming out of the thru deck block.
The spectra that came out of the thru deck block is spliced to a 29mm Carbo Ti Lite Block.  Your jib sheet runs thru the block.  Now repeat the process to due the other side of the boat.
