Jib Sail controlled by rope

I found a good explanation of what I’m trying to do here:

Ropes and sails

Hi. I am kinda new to Blender and 3D animation in general so this is probably a very noob question: I want to animate a square sail (as cloth) pinned along the top row of vertices (this i can do). I also want to tie down the lower corners using ‘ropes’ of a different material (maybe a cloth or soft body that stretches). What I want to know is how can I do this? Thanks in advance.

but I’m doing something wrong. Basically I want to be able to move the bottom corner of the jib and have the cloth sim update based on new location.
Tried hook but only the vertexes hooked move, doesn’t seem to affect the cloth sim.

Didn’t look at file (yet?) The hook modifier needs to be above (before) the cloth modifier.

Ok, I looked at the file, but did you upload the right one? I got “Tiny Tim”, where there are no meshes with cloth modifiers or hook modifiers.

You’re were right, I had hook modifier after cloth.
Works better now, I think I mainly need to subdivide more.

here’s the correct link, I hope.

I rebuilt the sail with cleaner subdivisions and its working much better. Thanks you!
