ABSTRACT:
A jib sheet apparatus for sailboats which will permit a jib sheet, and thus a head sail of any size, to be trimmed from one side of a sailboat to the other, as in tacking or jibbing, by use of a continuous, closed traveller-track and fairlead apparatus system which requires simply a single, unskilled crewperson of but average strength and manual dexterity to operate, and which can be operated from a single position in the cockpit with minimum effort, or in an alternative mode, by electricity.
