You have a rigid vang. It is rigged with a wire
rope from the base of the mast, through a sheave at the boom, and then to a rope purchase that is a double becket block and lead down to the mast base with another double block. The rope is then lead to a single block at the mast partners and then to a cleat aft of the mast. What is the purchase ratio? [1 pt] What is a simple way to determine any given purchase ratio? [2 pts] Since your mainsail area is large, you decided you want to increase the final purchase, name a way to do this? [1 pt] |
