Here, the purchase and aids must be carefully matched so that you can pull at a suitable speed and with the right force. When you use purchase in rope, it is like adding gearing. Each time you add another gear ratio, it becomes easier to pull, but you have to pull correspondingly farther to achieve the same effect as before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePURCHASE ON THE MAINSHEET A mainsheet is used to control the boom on the mainsail. There are many ways this can be done, but on smaller boats you most often see a so-called triple block at each end. One on the boom and one on the cockpit floor or traveler in the boat. The lower one has a cam cleat, so the rope can be locked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOTHER PURCHASES Other places where purchase is often used can be on a backstay or on the kicker. Again, this depends on which fittings are available and how much force is required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rutgerson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50753887011147,"sku":"1310286","price":193.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/9183\/7259\/files\/1310286_XL.jpg?v=1730742722","url":"https:\/\/www.boatlab.net\/products\/rutgerson-skodesystem-4-1-50mm-blokke-o-8mm","provider":"BoatLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
