Tom: Interesting question. I had my M15 sheet blocks on the combing as you know, and it worked pretty well. Although my M17 with the toe rail blocks seems to point pretty well--Ask Larry Yake. --Gary Hyde 2005 M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

Has anyone located working jib sheet blocks up on the combing just in front of the winches on an M17? I think you could trim in a bit more and maybe point a bit higher from that location rather from the toe rail.
I know you could achieve the same thing with a barber hauler, but that's not the question I'm asking.
Thanks. tom
