This three-women “mini Soling” is a very traditional boat, but many crews are upgrading deck gear with the Harken Carbo line of hardware. The 40 mm Carbo Fiddle (2655) is used for mainsheet, while 29 mm Carbos are used extensively for mastbase, jib and halyard controls.

belowdeck fine-tune jib controls
This 4:1 double-ended system allows crew to simultaneously control the movement of both traveler cars from the weather rail. Cars stay in the same position, helping to maintain jib trim from tack-to-tack. The belowdeck feature keeps decks clean.
Jib Halyard Adjuster
The gross-trim controls let crew hoist the jib quickly. Small adjustments to jib halyard tension with the fine-tune controls help to optimize sail shape.
