ROPE PURCHASE When sailing under sail, there are a wide range of lines and trim systems that must handle the sails optimally. Here, purchase and aids must be carefully matched so you can pull at a suitable speed and with the right force. When you create purchase in a line, it is like adding gearing. Each time you add another gear, it becomes easier to pull, but you must pull correspondingly farther to get the same effect as before.

PURCHASE 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 sole or traveler in the boat. The lower one has a cam cleat, so the line can be locked.

OTHER PURCHASES Other places where purchase is often used can be on a backstay or on the kicker. Here again it depends on which fittings are available and how much force is required.
