The options are more limited with the jib than the staysail, because the jib has to be sheeted in outside the staysail, yet at a point where the boat is narrower. Sheeting further aft to some extent overcomes this, but at the expense of more difficulty getting the loosened sheet to pull freely round the forestay when going about.
