All the replies give sound advice, remember this, to power up your vehicle, :evil: you need to adjust the sail using your boom, thats where the blocks come in, 2 pulleys called blocks connected by a line, known as the mainsheet, the upper pulley connects to the boom and the lower pulley connects to the boat. On most cats there will be a traveler car on the rear crossbar that moves along a track, the lower pulley connects to the car, usually the lower block is identified by it's having a jamb cleat. Hauling on the mainsheet tensions the mainsail and if all the planets are in sync, angle of wind is in alignment with angle of boat, you go really fast. :-D <!-- editby --><em>edited by: turbohobo, Oct 09, 2008 - 03:12 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
