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. |
