Tower for main sheet
Posted: Thu May 05, 2011 8:16 am
What is the current wisdom on a tower for the main sheet fair lead?
That is: a tube or such that raises the exit point for the main sheet so that when close hauled, the force on the main boom is more horizontal.
With the fair lead on the deck, the force is almost directly vertical and tends to close the leech.
What say ye?
