Default Sailing Terminology Question

"Scotty" wrote
.... Using
the fraculator reduces the risk of making last minute
mistakes at the leeward mark.


Does it prevent the helmsman either too wide and ending up 3
boatlengths to leeward, or too tight and parking? Those are the two
most common mistakes... often made because the helmsman is busy
yelling at the crew..

What's a "stem fitting"?


Kind of like a "seed fitting" only slightly larger diameter.
