I noticed that my jib sheets were getting wear damage where they rubbed and scraped past the cotter pins in the stay turnbuckles. To resolve this I wrapped the turnbuckles with rigging tape.

The problem is, the rigging tape needs to be continually attended to. On my Catalina-22 I used PVC tubing to solve the problem but on the C-250 with both stays adjacent and with the large stainless deck plate, the PVC tubing would need to be very large diameter.

Has anyone solved this problem another way?

On my 250 wk I have turnbuckle covers. The cotter pins are not exposed until you lift the covers up. I though the covers where standard equipment, at least they were on the 2000 model year.

My jib sheets don't touch the turnbuckle covers. I have the 135% jib so the sheets run on the outside of the lifelines. When the jib is furled in to about 100% or less then I run the sheets on the inside of the lifelines & stays.

Hope this helps.
