CAN ANYONE HELP ME TRANSLATE THIS STATEMENT I GOT FROM THE QUANTUM SAILS WEB SITE?
. MAINSHEET/TRAVELER
You are encouraged to sail your boat with a single purchase in the mainsheet system. To do so you would remove the traveler block and attach the mainsheet directly to the bridle. This is best done by splicing the mainsheet and traveler together. The single purchase eliminates about 10’ of mainsheet line that has to be pulled in at the leeward mark or eased out at the weather mark. There is also that much less line to clutter the floor of the boat. The downside to this system is in high winds, where the power of the 2-1 purchase may be necessary for some to adjust the mainsheet when the loads are high.
