Hi Graham

Thats an option although we rigged it at lunchtime by just threading the forestay through it whilst rigging and it worked ok. Bit of a faff getting the forestay end fitting through all the loops but it worked ok so will probably do as a solution for now.

Thanks to everyone for your help and ideas

I had a jib like that once and it came with a wire in it and you had another bit of string to put in place to stop the mast falling down when you de rigged, the next generation came with a permanent wire and clips, Alto mk 1 & 2.

Here's an idea get a bit of spectra kite(surfing) leader line and thread that up there if all you are doing is larking about.

Probably wouldn't cost a great deal to get a sailmaker to sort it out?

Seems like a bodge job, possibly due to unavailability of replacement clips (they did break fairly regularly!).  You will probably have to thread the forestay through them, as in the post above.  Can you ask the previous owner?

Thanks but no. We have two sails, both Neil Prides, and one does indeed have the clips as you would expect the other just cloth loops, stitch both sides and with no means of disconnecting?

Thanks but this doesnt help... it only talks about the clips, what do we do when the jib doesn't have any?
