This is the first of three questions I have for the group this evening. I hope I can avoid "reinventing the wheel" when others here have probably already dealt with these questions. I also hope you all consider these questions with the attitude there are no dumb questions. I am the proud owner of a new storm jib and 85% jib for my Montgomery 15 from Elliot Pattison Sailmakers. I have 5/16 inch (per this group) line for jib sheets and need to figure out how long to make the sheets for these new sails. I am not certain the sheets on my regular jib are the "right" length. It seems to me the sheets should be long enough that the jib can be let out at least to be perpendicular to the center line of the boat. I could also see going longer than that so the jib could actually be forward of the forestay but then I wonder if the sheets would be too long most of the time. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to determine the best length for jib sheets? Thanks for the wisdom and opinions too. David Grah Bishop California Montgomery 15 Serial 369 "Sky"
