I have been through a number of plans trying to figure out the sheet leads. The sheet seems to begin at the servo arm, run aft then thru the deck and terminate in a ring. The jib sheet seems to begin at the ring and run down the deck and thru an eye under the jib boom. The main seems to also begin at the ring, but seems to go thru an eye near the rail, thru an eye on the boom then down to the other rail. Is this correct? It seems that the jib would sheet in more closely than the main with this configuration and backwind the main.

I am looking at building the JIF65, and I have not been able to find in the plans what material they use for the "bumper". Are they just using a balsa block for the bumper? Also, since these are relatively small and lightweight boats has anyone ever thought of using a lighter weight balsa for the hull and covering the boats in monokote? It would give a nice finish, and if the edges are sealed well would be durable and waterproof. You could even use the translucent colors on the deck and be able to see the inards of the boat.
