Red Neck "Adjustable" cars

While you might not be able to justify the price of a harken adjustable jib car position for your B25, you may find it useful to use a strop attached to a car on the same track to hold the load while you pull the pin and shift the car on your current set up. Let me explain.....you take an old jib car or other piece of hardware that fits the track and place it behind the jib car. Then attach a strop to the additional car. You can put the strop on with a shackle on each end a splice on the car end...bowlines...however you want it. the idea is that you hook up the strop, let off on the sheet, adjust the car, and then re-sheet....sure its not as smooth or fast as the harken system, but its a hell of a lot cheaper...
