Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

If I recall my 165 works best with the block at about the middle of the rear portlight, but it's going to depend a bit on the jib itself.

Here's an article I found helpful

Hope it helps.
