| Jib Boxes for Fractional Rigs & Staysails | |

and one or more Sheaves for internal Halyard(s) in a single assembly.
Mounted on the forward centerline of the Mast, they are used for
Forestay attachment on Fractional Rigs, and are suitable for use with
appropriately sized secondary Forestays or Staysail Stays. Internal Halyards exit lower on the mast, normally using standard Exit Plates, Exit Blocks or Welded Mast Base Exit Boxes. Listed below are a variety of common Kenyon Forestay/Jib Boxes. Listed separately are Isomat/Sparcraft Jib Boxes and Z-Spar Jib Boxes. See also: Forestay/Staysail Tangs and Exit Blocks.
