Questions about my Triton rig

[Brion Toss]

Hi again,
The jib halyard will not work for a spinnaker; no articulation, no tacking. But a block on that lug, with the working part led over the strut will work just fine, as the spinnaker pulls the line forward.
As for that sleeve, drilling out the rivets is a good idea, but unless you then tap for larger fasteners, and countersink every hole, you won't be able to use machine screws. Best just to re-rivet.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss

Thanks Brion. That's very helpful. Enjoying your book quite a bit, pretty awesome.

All the best
